✦ Synopsis

We report here the discovery of a family of transposable elements, which we refer to as Fot1 elements, in the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. The first element was identified as an insertion in the gene encoding nitrate reductase. It is 1928 bp long, has 44 bp inverted terminal repeats, contains a large open reading frame and is flanked by a 2 bp (TA) target site duplication. This element shares significant structural similarities with a class of transposons that includes Tc1 from Caenorhabditis elegans and therefore represents a new class of transposable elements in fungi.

The genome structures of a temperate Lactobacillus phage, ~b FSW, and its virulent mutants, ~b FSVs, were examined by restriction, heteroduplex and nucleotide-sequence analyses. The results showed that two out of three ~b FSVs had the same 1.3 kbp insertion (designated as ISL1) at different position

Statistical properties of the amount of divergence of members of a transposable element family are studied. The analysis is based on the model proposed by Langley et al. describing the evolution of a family of selectively neutral transposable elements in a finite haploid population of size 2N. By co
