Characterization of Two Transposable Elements and an Ultra-Conserved Element Isolated in the Genome of <i>Zootoca vivipara</i> (Squamata, Lacertidae)

Characterization of Two Transposable Elements and an Ultra-Conserved Element Isolated in the Genome of <i>Zootoca vivipara</i> (Squamata, Lacertidae)

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a considerable fraction of eukaryote genomes representing a major source of genetic variability. We describe two DNA sequences isolated in the lizard <i>Zootoca vivipara</i>, here named Zv516 and Zv817. Both sequences are single-copy nuclear sequenc...
