Swimmer 1, a New Low-copy-number LINE Family in Teleost Genomes with Sequence Similarity to Mammalian L1 [4]

Abstract

We report here the salient features of ‘‘Swimmer 1’’ (SW1), a new long interspersed nuclear element (LINE) family of retrotransposons from the genomes of two teleost fishes, the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes ) and the desert pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius ).
