[Structure of long terminal repeats of transcriptionally active and inactive copies of the mobile dispersed gene MDG3 in Drosophila melanogaster].

The nucleotide sequences of long terminal repeats (LTRs) and adjacent regions are determined in the transcribed and non-transcribed variants of a mobile dispersed genetic element MDG3. MDG3 is similar to other mdg elements. A 4 bp duplication of the host DNA is generated upon its integration.
