Abstract:Repetitive DNA is a major component of any living cell. In eukaryotes retrotransposable elements make up several percent of the genome size, and consequently, retroelements are often identified in experiments aimed at establishing physical maps and whole genome sequences. In this review, recent progress in the characterization of retrotransposable elements in the genome of the eukaryotic mi croorganism Dictyostelium discoideum is summarized with a focus on retroelements which integrate near transfer RNA genes with intriguing position specificity.

Keywords:.Dictyostelium   repetitive DNA   retrotrans poson   tRNA gene   evolution   review.
