Spoink, a LTR retrotransposon, invaded D. melanogaster populations in the 1990s

During the last few centuries D. melanogaster populations were invaded by several transposable elements, the most recent of which was thought to be the P -element between 1950 and 1980. Here we describe a novel TE, which we named Spoink , that has invaded D. melanogaster . It is a 5216nt LTR retrotr...
