Comments
	NEB is probably a copia-like element. NEB elements occur at multiple dispersed sites in the genome which differ in different stocks. The ends of this element cross-hybridize, indicating reiterated termini. No inverted repeats can be detected by electron microscopy. (Paro et al., 1983) Only one copy of the NEB element has been described. It was found on the large transposable element TE87A near the end carrying the rst gene. The ends of this element cross-hybridize. No inverted repeats could be detected by electron microscopy, suggesting that NEB is a copia-like element. NEB elements occur at multiple dispersed sites in the genome and are located at different positions in different strains. An incomplete element has been found near one end of TE89D. There are no sites for the enzymes BamHI or XhpI. Restriction map in Lindsley, Zimm, 1992 p. 1104.
