TC1/Marinertransposons belong to class II transposable elements (TEs) that use DNA-mediated “cut and paste” mechanism to transpose, and they have been identified in almost all organisms. Although silkworm (Bombyx mori) has a large amount ofTC1/Marinerelements, the genome wide information of this superfamily in the silkworm is unknown. In this study, we have identified 2670TC1/Mariner(Bmmar) elements in the silkworm genome. All the TEs were classified into 22 families by means of fgclust, a tool of repetitive sequence classification, seven of which was first reported in this study. Phylogenetic and structure analyses based on the catalytic domain (DDxD/E) of transposase sequences indicated that all members ofTC1/Marinerwere grouped into five subgroups:Mariner, Tc1, maT, DD40D and DD41D/E. Of these five subgroups,maTrather thanMarinerpossessed most members ofTC1/Mariner(51.23%) in the silkworm genome. In particular, phylogenetic analysis and structure analysis revealed thatBmmar15(DD40D) formed a new basal subgroup ofTC1/Marinerelement in insects, which was referred to asbmori. Furthermore, we concluded that DD40D appeared to intermediate betweenmarinerandTc1. Finally, we estimated the insertion time for each copy ofTC1/Marinerin the silkworm and found that most of members were dramatically amplified during a period from 0 to 1 mya. Moreover, the detailed functional data analysis showed thatBmmar1, Bmmar6andBmmar9had EST evidence and intact transposases. These implied thatTC1/Marinermight have potential transpositional activity. In conclusion, this study provides some new insights into the landscape, origin and evolution ofTC1/Marinerin the insect genomes.
