Detection of the Ongoing Sorting of Ancestrally Polymorphic SINEs Toward Fixation or Loss in Populations of Two Species of Charr During Speciation
Abstract The FokI family of short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) has been found only in the genomes of charr fishes (genus Salvelinus). In an analysis of the insertion of FokI SINEs using PCR, we characterized six loci at which FokI SINEs have been inserted into the genomes of Salvelinus a...
