We previously characterized a female-specific randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), designated W-Kabuki, derived from the W chromosome of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. To further analyze the W chromosome of B. mori, we obtained a lambda phage clone which contains the W-Kabuki RAPD sequence and sequenced the 18.1-kb DNA insert. We found that this DNA comprises a nested structure of at least seven elements; three retrotransposons, two retroposons, one functionally unknown insertion, and one Bombyx repetitive sequence. The non-LTR retrotransposon BMC1, the retroposon Bm1, a functionally unknown inserted DNA (FUI), and a copia-like LTR retrotransposon (Yokozuma) are themselves inserted into a novel gypsy-Ty3-like LTR retrotransposon, named Kabuki. Furthermore, this Kabuki element is itself inserted into another copy of Bm1. The BMCI and Yokozuna elements inserted in the Kabuki sequence are intact. Moreover, the Kabuki element is largely intact. These results suggest that many retrotransposable elements have accumulated on the W chromosome, and these elements are expected to evolve more slowly than those on other chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012831 Bombyx A genus of silkworm MOTHS in the family Bombycidae of the order LEPIDOPTERA. The family contains a single species, Bombyx mori from the Greek for silkworm + mulberry tree (on which it feeds). A native of Asia, it is sometimes reared in this country. It has long been raised for its SILK and after centuries of domestication it probably does not exist in nature. It is used extensively in experimental GENETICS.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
