Restricted matrilineal gene flow and regional differentiation among Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations within the Bay of Fundy, eastern Canada.

abstract：:P elements, both complete and incomplete, contain a left and right end, normally depicted as pointing away from each other. Here, we examine the properties of P elements that may be described as 're-arranged elements' or 'inside-out elements', containing inverted ends. Two such structures exist, having either ends poi...
