EEL组的retroelements是目前在更大的数量，品种和分类范围比以前可能已经认为。除了昆虫、线虫和寄生虫外，EEL样元件还存在于棘皮动物、尾索动物和至少两种高度分化的鱼类中。我们描述了一个新的全长鳗鱼样元件在河豚，我们称之为Suzu，另一个在果蝇，我们称之为Tinker，和七个新的家庭在C。优雅许多C。elegans元件在5 '端具有不寻常的插入。先前已知的Roo、TRAM和Telemac也是EEL样反转录转座子。一些EEL样元件捕获了一个包膜基因，在某些情况下可能来自其他逆转录元件，但在一种情况下可能来自白蛉病毒。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
The EEL group of retroelements is present in greater numbers, variety and taxonomic range than may have been thought previously. In addition to the insects, nematodes and schistosomes, EEL-like elements are present in echinoderms, urochordates, and at least two highly diverged species of fish. We describe one new full-length EEL-Like element in Fugu that we call Suzu, another in Drosophila that we call Tinker, and seven new families in C. elegans. Many of the C. elegans elements have an unusual insertion at the 5' end. The previously known Roo, TRAM and Telemac are also EEL-like retrotransposons. Some EEL-like elements have captured an envelope gene, probably from other retroelements in some cases but from a phlebovirus in one case. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
