It constitutes a one-single-sequence clade within Branch 2 of the ''Ty1/Copia'' LTR retrotransposons family ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]]) as it has no phylogenetic relatives to date reported. The full-length ''Mtanga'' genome is 4284 bp in size, including two identical 119-bp LTRs that flanked an internal region containing a Primer Binding Site (PBS) for a tRNA&lt;sup&gt;Met&lt;/sup&gt;, two overlapping Open Reading Frames (ORFs) and a Polypurine Tract (PPT). The first ORF contains the ''gag'' and ''protease'' domains while the second presents the integrase, the reverse transcriptase and the RNase H domains typical of ''Ty1/Copia'' polyproteins ([[Literature:64155|Rohr ''et al.'' 2002]]).<br /> |structure= mtanga.png<br /> |host=Anopheles gambiae<br /> |hostpic=Anopheles_gambiae.jpg<br /> |literature=*[[Literature:15303|Mobile DNA II.
