Species-specific mobile genetic elements in the gene of repair enzyme MGMT in new world monkeys

Aim.To analyze the distribution of species-specific mobile genetic elements (MGE) in orthologs MGMT gene Platyrrhina. Methods. The homology between nucleotide sequences was determined by BLAST 2.6.1. results search and identification MGE were performed using CENSOR program. Results. On example New World monkeys, it has been shown that different identified their intron may have evolutionary chronologies. In case element Alu2_TS, which originated Tarsiiformes representative, found evolutionarily close primates undergoes deletion degradation, while fragments human-specific L1Hs are genomes distant long before formation emergence this retroelement. Conclusions. chronology changes its can be nature occur parallele independently.
