| a retrotransposon-like element and its occurrence in british columbia populations of chondrostereum purpureum. | repetitive dna elements discovered in the basidiomycete chondrostereum purpureum were characterized and validated for use as genetic markers. regions of these marker sequences were similar to retrotransposon and retrotransposon-like sequences, as indicated by blast searches of ncbi databases. these sequences occur in multiple dna fragments of variable length in a given c. purpureum isolate, and thus can serve as strain-specific genetic markers. the segregation of the markers within a progeny set ... | 2004 | 15341914 |
