Non-LTR retrotransposons in fungi

Functional and Integrative Genomics, 2008
Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons have contributed to shaping the structure and function of genomes. Fungi have small genomes, usually with limited amounts of repetitive DNA. In silico approach has been used to survey the non-LTR elements in 57 fungal genomes.

Inpactor, Integrated and Parallel Analyzer and Classifier of LTR Retrotransposons and Its Application for Pineapple LTR Retrotransposons Diversity and Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesBiology, 2018
One particular class of Transposable Elements (TEs), called Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs), retrotransposons, comprises the most abundant mobile elements in plant genomes. Their copy number can vary from several hundreds to up to a few million copies per genome, deeply affecting genome organization and function.

LTR retrotransposons and the evolution of eukaryotic enhancers

Genetica, 1997
Since LTR retrotransposons and retroviruses are especially prone to regional duplications and recombination events, these viral-like systems may be especially conducive to the evolution of closely spaced combinatorial regulatory motifs. Using the Drosophila copia LTR retrotransposon as a model, we show that a regulatory region contained within the ...

LTR-retrotransposons in plants: Engines of evolution

Gene, 2017
LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in plants. These elements can fall inside or close to genes, and therefore influence their expression and evolution. This review aims to examine how LTR retrotransposons, especially Ty1-copia elements, mediate gene regulation and evolution.

LTR retrotransposons in plants

Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research, 2011
Ty1/copia and Ty3/gypsy LTR retrotransposons represent a significant part of plant genomes and play an important role in their structure, functioning, and evolution. The majority of information about this group of transposable elements is related to agricultural plant species and model objects, such as Arabidopsis thaliana. The most investigated groups
