New insights into nested long terminal repeat retrotransposons in Brassica species. [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2013 Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, one of the foremost types of transposons, continually change or modify gene function and reorganize the genome through bursts of dramatic proliferation. Many LTR-TEs preferentially insert within other LTR-TEs,

Specific suppression of long terminal repeat retrotransposon mobilization in plants. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2023 AbstractThe tissue culture passage necessary for the generation of transgenic plants induces genome instability. This instability predominantly involves the uncontrolled mobilization of LTR retrotransposons (LTR-TEs), which are the most abundant class of mobile genetic elements in plant genomes.

The first discovery of Tc1 transposons in yeast
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 BackgroundIdentification of transposons without close homologs is still a difficult task. IS630/Tc1/mariner transposons, classified into a superfamily, are probably the most widespread DNA transposons in nature.

Which factors contribute most to genome size variation within angiosperms?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Genome size varies greatly across the flowering plants and has played an important role in shaping their evolution. It has been reported that many factors correlate with the variation in genome size, but few studies have systematically explored this at ...

Telomeres Terminating with Long Complex Tandem Repeats [PDF]
Hereditas, 2004 Telomeres of most investigated species terminate with short repeats and are elongated by telomerase. Short repeats have never been detected in dipteran species which have found other solutions to end a chromosome. Whereas in Drosophila melanogaster retroelements are added onto the termini, chironomids have long complex repeats at their chromosome ends.

Whole genome resequencing reveals natural target site preferences of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that integrate into host genomes using diverse mechanisms with varying degrees of target site specificity.

New Insights into Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons in Mulberry Species. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2019 The evolutionary dynamics of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons in tree genomes has remained largely unknown. The availability of the complete genome sequences of the mulberry tree (Morus notabilis) has offered an unprecedented opportunity for us to characterize these retrotransposon elements.

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons of Oryza sativa [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2002 Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute a major fraction of the genomes of higher plants. For example, retrotransposons comprise more than 50% of the maize genome and more than 90% of the wheat genome. LTR retrotransposons are believed to have contributed significantly to the evolution of genome structure and function.
