Correlation in Expression between LTR Retrotransposons and Potential Host Cis-Targets during Infection of Antherea pernyi with ApNPV Baculovirus [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 The published genome sequence of Antheraea yamamai (Saturnnidae) was used to construct a library of long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons that is representative of the wild silkmoth (Antherea) genus, and that includes 22,666 solo LTRs and 541 full ...

Large-scale transcriptome data reveals transcriptional activity of fission yeast LTR retrotransposons [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Retrotransposons are transposable elements that proliferate within eukaryotic genomes through a process involving reverse transcription. The numbers of retrotransposons within genomes and differences between closely related species may yield ...

The role of LTR retrotransposons in plant genetic engineering : How to control their transposition in the genome [PDF]
, 2023 Key message We briefly discuss that the similarity of LTR retrotransposons to retroviruses is a great opportunity for the development of a genetic engineering tool that exploits intragenic elements in the plant genome for plant genetic improvement.

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons of Oryza sativa [PDF]
, 2002 BACKGROUND: 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.

Boty-like retrotransposons in the filamentous fungus Botrytis cinerea contain the additional antisense gene brtn [PDF]
, 2011 Long-terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons typically contain gag, pol, or gag–pol, and in some case env genes. In this work, we used data mining of the Botrytis cinerea genomic sequence and a molecular approach to identify Boty-like LTR retrotransposons
