Retrotransposons: How the continuous evolutionary front shapes plant genomes for response to heat stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR retrotransposons) are the most abundant group of mobile genetic elements in eukaryotic genomes and are essential in organizing genomic architecture and phenotypic variations.

Stress Induced Activation of LTR Retrotransposons in the Drosophila melanogaster Genome [PDF]
Life, 2023 Background: Retrotransposons with long terminal repeats (LTR retrotransposons) are widespread in all groups of eukaryotes and are often both the cause of new mutations and the source of new sequences.

Genome-wide characterization of LTR retrotransposons in the non-model deep-sea annelid Lamellibrachia luymesi [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Long Terminal Repeat retrotransposons (LTR retrotransposons) are mobile genetic elements composed of a few genes between terminal repeats and, in some cases, can comprise over half of a genome’s content.

Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons: mechanisms, recent developments, and unanswered questions [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2010 Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are present in most eukaryotic genomes. In some species, such as humans, these elements are the most abundant genome sequence and continue to replicate to this day, creating a source of endogenous ...
