The human genome carries several endogenous retroviral sequences. One of them that we named 'HERV-A', carries almost the complete sequence of the long terminal repeat (LTR), and is located in the 5' region of the amylase genes (M.Emi, A.Horii, N.Tomita, T.Nishide, M.Ogawa, T. Mori and K.Matsubara, Gene 62: 229-235, 1988). Using this sequence as a probe, we found a 1.4 kb LTR transcript(s) in a lung cancer cell line. No corresponding transcript was observed in control cells. Two partial, but different cDNA clones were obtained, and each one was found to be a transcript starting within human sequences at 5' upstream from the LTR and ending within the LTR sequence.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
