Additional ORFs in Plant LTR-Retrotransposons. [PDF]
Altres ajuts: CERCA Programme/Generalitat de CatalunyaLTR-retrotransposons share a common genomic organization in which the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) is followed by the gag and pol genes and terminates with the 3' LTR.

LTR retrotransposons in fungi. [PDF]
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.

Retand LTR-retrotransposons in plants: a long way from pol to 3'LTR. [PDF]
Plant Gypsy LTR-retrotransposons are classified into lineages according to the phylogenetic relationships of the reverse transcriptase. Retand is a lineage of non-chromovirus elements characterized by the presence of a long internal region compared to ...

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

Lost in translation : The biogenesis of non-LTR retrotransposon proteins [PDF]
This research was supported by UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Wellcome Trust.“Young” APE-type non-LTR retrotransposons (non-LTRs) typically encode two open reading frames (ORFs 1 and 2).

APE-type non-LTR retrotransposons of multicellular organisms encode virus-like 2A oligopeptide sequences, which mediate translational recoding during protein synthesis [PDF]
2A oligopeptide sequences (“2As”) mediate a cotranslational recoding event termed “ribosome skipping.” Previously we demonstrated the activity of 2As (and “2A-like sequences”) within a wide range of animal RNA virus genomes and non-long terminal repeat ...

A specific insertion of a solo-LTR characterizes the Y chromosome of Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae) [PDF]
Background: Relatively few species of flowering plants are dioecious and even fewer are known to have sex chromosomes. Current theory posits that homomorphic sex chromosomes, such as found in Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae), offer insight into the early ...

LTR-LTR ages and terminal branch length ages for LTR retrotransposons.
Ages in 10,000 year bins across each of the largest 10 families of each superfamily with at least 10 copies. Left plots (A-D) show LTR-LTR ages, right plots (E-H) show terminal branch length (TBL) ages. (A) all copies, LTR-LTR, (B) RLC families, LTR-LTR,

Isolation of a transcriptionally active element of high copy number retrotransposons in sweetpotato genome [PDF]
Many plant retrotransposons have been characterized, but only three families (Tnt1, Tto1 and Tos17) have been demonstrated to be transpositionally competent.

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.
