| PubMed Abstract |
In this paper, we propose a consensus sequence for a putative complete Tirant retrotransposon. Several defective copies, as
well as relevant sequences available in databases have been analyzed. The putative complete Tirant element is 8533 bp long,
and presents all the structural features of a retrovirus-like transposable element of the gypsy family. It contains three
ORFs (open reading frames) that encode putative products resembling the retroviral Gag, Pol, and Env proteins. Southern blot
analyses show that complete and defective Tirant elements are widespread in Drosophila melanogaster. The different hybridization
patterns observed in several natural populations of this species suggest that Tirant is an active element.
