The phrase "as a repeated element" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing something that occurs multiple times within a context, such as in literature, design, or data analysis.
Example: "In the poem, the phrase 'time waits for no one' serves as a repeated element that emphasizes the theme of urgency."
Alternatives: "as a recurring motif" or "as a repeated feature".
It is present as a mid-level repeated element in its host insect genome (about 50 copies/genome) [ 19, 24], it encodes a set of proteins (gag, pol, env) with features similar to those of well-characterized retrovirus proteins [ 17] and it is capable of producing virus-like particles [ 25].
Using RepeatMasker [ 18] and a new salmonid repeat database [ 19], 30% of the CS gh1, 28% of the CS gh2, 33% of AS gh1 and 35% of AS gh2 are repeated elements or simple repeats (approximately 50% of the total repeats are 1.6 kb Tc1-like transposons).
However, some loci can escape DNA methylation reprogramming, as for example, repeated elements such as retrotransposons [ 15, 134].
In addition, we identified 19 other "MITE-like" structures appearing as repeated elements displaying IRs and sometimes DRs. However, we failed to identify any autonomous IS partner associated with them.
We first examined the effect of genome features such as size and repeated elements prevalence and AFLP parameters (number of selective bases, GC content) on homoplasy at the intra-individual level (i.e. co-migrating fragments within a peak).
Intra- and interchromosomal duplications are often mediated by Ty elements, but also occur in the absence of repeated elements, as a result of microhomology/microsatellite-induced replication (MMiR).
From this point of view, the unsymmetrical slope chamber can be seen as an integrated structure built by repeated elements linking in series.
As in Prototheca mtDNA, the repeated elements are dispersed throughout the whole genome sequence in intergenic regions and in introns.
A total of 16 out of 28 sequences are most likely transposable or repeated elements as indicated by their annotations extracted from the protein domain family database ProDom [ 36] and repeat coverage (Table 1).
It is possible that the large size of IGS was caused by the expansion of repeated elements as apparently happened in Larix species (Trontin et al., 1999) or in A. alba (Besendorfer et al., 2005).
