Summary: Clones hybridizing to the Mycosphaerella graminicola DNA fingerprint probe pSTL70 were identified from subgenomic libraries and sequenced. Analysis of the DNA sequences of these clones plus the original pSTL70 clone revealed that pSTL70 contains part of the open reading frame for a probable homologue of an osmosensing histidine kinase gene from yeast. The remaining portion of the clone contained a partial reverse transcriptase gene sequence and a 29 base pair direct repeat, which could mean that the clone is a transposable element. Methods for converting transposable elements into improved DNA fingerprinting techniques are discussed.
