Only a “solo” LF-SINE is observed in <i>L. chalumnae</i>, suggesting deletion through homologous recombination between both LF-SINEs.</p><p>These “insertions” mostly comprise insertions <i>sensu stricto</i> but also a few deletions that occurred at the orthologous site in the other species.</p><p>Transposable element insertions in ca. 5.7 Mb of orthologous genomic sequences from the coelacanth species <i>Latimeria chalumnae</i> and <i>L. menadoensis</i>.</p> 2014-12-03 02:47:10 Interspecies Insertion Polymorphism Analysis Latimeria species Artificial Chromosome clones transposable elements Extant Coelacanths Coelacanths cr coelacanth genomes chalumnae genome orthologous genomic regions
