Embryonic LTR retrotransposons supply promoter modules to somatic tissues. [PDF]
Genome Res, 2021 Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are widely distributed across the human genome. They have accumulated through retroviral integration into germline DNA and are latent genetic modules. Active LTR promoters are observed in germline cells; however, little is known about the mechanisms underlying their active transcription in somatic tissues ...

Endonuclease domain of the Drosophila melanogaster R2 non-LTR retrotransposon and related retroelements: a new model for transposition [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 The molecular mechanisms of the transposition of non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are not well understood; the key questions of how the 3’-ends of cDNA copies integrate and how site-specific integration occurs remain unresolved ...

LTR retrotransposons in fungi.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Transposable elements with long terminal direct repeats (LTR TEs) are one of the best studied groups of mobile elements. They are ubiquitous elements present in almost all eukaryotic genomes.

Sequence-Independent Identification of Active LTR Retrotransposons in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2018 Detection of retrotransposons capable of contemporary transposition is hampered by the replicative nature of their movement and is usually limited to fortuitous observations of new integration events causing visible phenotypes. To circumvent this shortcoming, we developed a screening strategy for novel active retrotransposons containing long terminal ...

Gene Deletion in Barley Mediated by LTR-retrotransposon BARE [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractA poly-row branched spike (prbs) barley mutant was obtained from soaking a two-rowed barley inflorescence in a solution of maize genomic DNA. Positional cloning and sequencing demonstrated that the prbs mutant resulted from a 28 kb deletion including the inflorescence architecture gene HvRA2.

Chromodomains and LTR retrotransposons in plants [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 A chromodomain is a domain contained in various proteins involved in chromatin remodeling and the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes during development. Chromodomains perform a wide range of diverse functions including chromatin targeting and interactions between different proteins, RNA and DNA.
