The domain structure and retrotransposition mechanism of R2 elements are conserved throughout arthropods

R2 elements are non-LTR retrotransposons that insert in the 28S rRNA genes of arthropods. Partial sequence data from many species have previously suggested that these elements have been vertically inherited since the origin of this phylum. Here, we compare the complete sequences of nine R2 elements...
