A Drosophila teissieri I-element retrotransposon's ORF1p shows RNA binding cis-preference in the D. melanogaster female germline
{{output}}
The transposable I-element from Drosophila melanogaster encodes an RNA-binding protein ORF1p required for its retroansposition. ORF1p binds single-stranded DNA and RNA in vitro non-specifically. If this non-specific RNA binding occurs in the germline, then we ... ...
