A short interspersed nuclear element, Mg-SINE, was isolated and characterized from the genome of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea. Mg-SINE was isolated as an insertion element within Pot2, an inverted-repeat transposon from M. grisea and shows typical features of a mammalian SINE. Mg-SINE is present as a 0.47-kb interspersed sequence at approximately 100 copies per haploid genome in both rice and non-rice isolates of M. grisea, indicating a common evolutionary origin.
