Comments
	Dsim\Circe hybridises to 3 euchromatic sites, but not to the chromocenter, in polytene chromosomes. Dsim\Circe hybridises mainly to centric heterochromatin (on the autosomes and Y, but not on the X chromosome) in mitotic chromosomes. (Losada et al., 1999)

Research paper	Losada et al., 1999, Mol. Biol. Evol. 16(10): 1341--1346 The analysis of circe, an LTR retrotransposon of Drosophila melanogaster, suggests that an insertion of non-LTR retrotransposons into LTR elements can create chimeric retroelements. [FBrf0111953]
