Characterization of<i>Stowaway</i>MITEs in pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i>L.) and identification of their potential master elements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have investigated miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) of the Stowaway family and corresponding Mariner-like master elements that could potentially facilitate their mobilization in the genome of the garden pea (Pisum sativum L.). The population of pea Stowaway MITEs consists of 103-104 copies dispersed in the genome. Judging from a sequence analysis of 17 isolated Stowaway elements and their flanking genomic regions, the elements are relatively uniform in size and sequence and occur in the vicinity of genes as well as within repetitive sequences. Insertional polymorphism of several elements was detected among various Pisum accessions, suggesting they were still transpositionally active during diversification of these taxa. The identification of several Mariner-like elements (MLEs) harboring intact open reading frames, capable of encoding a transposase, further supports a recent mobilization of the Stowaway elements. Using transposase-coding sequences as a hybridization probe, we estimated that there are about 50 MLE sequences in the pea genome. Among the 5 elements sequenced, 3 distinct subfamilies showing mutual similarities within their transposase-coding regions, but otherwise diverged in sequence, were distinguished and designated as Psmar-1 to Psmar-3. The terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) of these MLE subfamilies differed in their homology to the TIRs of Stowaway MITEs. The homlogy ranged from 9 bp in Psmar-3 to 30 bp in Psmar-1, which corresponds to the complete Stowaway TIR sequence. Based on this feature, the Psmar-1 elements are believed to be the most likely candidates for the master elements of the Stowaway MITEs in pea.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
