Abstract
Here we describe of a novel Drosophila LTR-type retrotransposon that is exp
ressed in the embryonic CNS midline glia and in the embryonic germ cells. T
he element is related to the gypsy and burdock retrotransposons and was ter
med midline-jumper, In addition to cDNA clones generated from internal retr
otransposon sequences, we have identified one cDNA clone that appears to re
flect a transposition event, indicating that the midline-jumper retrotransp
oson is not only transcribed but also able to transpose during Drosophila d
evelopment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
