''Roo'' belongs to the ''Bel'' clade ([[literature:14755|Copeland ''et al.'' 2005]]) within Branch 1 of the ''Bel/Pao'' family ([[literature:100596|Llorens'' et al.'' 2009]]).<br /> The genome of this element is 9.1 Kb in size, including LTRs of 429 (5’ LTR) and 428 nts (3’ LTR). The internal region of ''Roo'' displays a single ORF encoding for gag, pol and env polyproteins. Interestingly, our analyses suggest that the env protein of ''Roo'' is more similar to those envs coded by ''Ty3/Gypsy'' errantiviruses than those of the ''Bel/Pao'' family. Although this indicate that ''Roo'' might be a putative recombinant between a ''Bel/Pao'' element and a ''Ty3/Gypsy'' retrovirus further evidence is required to clarify if such a feature is also common in other ''Roo'' copies. <br /> |structure=roo.png<br /> |host=Drososphila melanogaster<br /> |hostpic=Drosophila_melanogaster.gif<br /> |literature=*[[Literature:15303|Mobile DNA II.
