Abstract

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of both delta elements of a Ty1 transposon inserted near the CYC7 gene in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CYC7-H2 mutant. The upstream delta element in this Ty1 has an unusual inverted repeat structure that may have been formed by an error during reverse transcription.
