abstract：:LTR-IS elements are middle repetitive sequences in the mouse genome with structural features of solitary retroviral LTRs. In order to get some insight in the possible functional role of these sequences the promotor activity of two LTR-IS representatives differing by 105 bp in their U3 region was investigated. Gene fus...
