I'm attaching the graphical output from searching the genomic sequence with the longest pogo sequence (X59837). It looks (satisfyingly) as we had found - the ~2.1 kb are the largest with a bunch of elements between 1.1 and 1.5 kb having different internal deletions, and lots and lots of tiny elements around 0.2 kb. I've not looked in detail at the sequence alignments - we did find some polymorphisms between individual elements anyway. The apparent discontinuity around 250-300 is not real - just BLAST taking out a region of relatively simple sequence (mostly a run of T). So I guess the 2.1 kb sequence can probably be called complete. David Finnegan did take these clones and express the encoded protein and showed that it bound the ends of pogo: Wang H, Hartswood E, Finnegan DJ (1999) Pogo transposase contains a putative helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain that recognises a 12 bp sequence within the terminal inverted repeats.
