DNA sequence analysis of a Drosophila foldback transposable element rearrangement.
The complete nucleotide sequence of a DNA rearrangement associated with the foldback 4 (FB 4) transposable element is presented. The results demonstrate that the entire loop sequence and almost all of one of the inverted terminal repeats is absent. Moreover, the sequence of the remaining inverted repeat suggests that the FB elements might undergo inversions via recombinations between the two inverted repeats of a single element.
