Using IRAP markers for analysis of genetic variability in populations of resource and rare species of plants [PDF]
, 2010 Species specific LTR retrotransposons were first cloned in five rare relic species of drug plants located in the Perm’ region. Sequences of LTR retrotransposons were used for PCR analysis based on amplification of repeated sequences from LTR or other ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) and long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are ubiquitous in plants genomes, and highly important in their evolution and diversity.

The diversity of LTR retrotransposons.
Genome biology, 2004 Eukaryotic genomes are full of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons. Although most LTR retrotransposons have common structural features and encode similar genes, there is nonetheless considerable diversity in their genomic organization, reflecting the different strategies they use to proliferate within the genomes of their hosts.

Identification of an active LTR retrotransposon in rice [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2009 SummaryTransposable elements are ubiquitous components of plant genomes. When active, these mobile elements can induce changes in the genome at both the structural and functional levels. Availability of the complete genome sequence for several model plant species provides the opportunity to study TEs in plants at an unprecedented scale.

RetrOryza: a database of the rice LTR-retrotransposons [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2007 Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons comprise a significant portion of the rice genome. Their complete characterization is thus necessary if the sequenced genome is to be annotated correctly. In addition, because LTR-retrotransposons can influence the expression of neighboring genes, the complete identification of these elements in the rice ...

Composite non-LTR retrotransposons in hominoid primates [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2015 Composite retrotransposons are widely distributed in the plant and animal kingdoms. Some of the most complex of these are found in hominoid primates. SVA, LAVA, PVA and FVA combine simple repeats, Alu fragments, a VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) and variable 3' domains, which are, except for PVA, derived from other retrotransposons. Although a

LTR-Retrotransposon Control by tRNA-Derived Small RNAs [PDF]
Cell, 2017 Transposon reactivation is an inherent danger in cells that lose epigenetic silencing during developmental reprogramming. In the mouse, long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons, or endogenous retroviruses (ERV), account for most novel insertions and are expressed in the absence of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation in preimplantation stem cells.

Retrotranspositions in orthologous regions of closely related grass species
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Retrotransposons are commonly occurring eukaryotic transposable elements (TEs). Among these, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the most abundant TEs and can comprise 50–90% of the genome in higher plants.

Reverse Transcription of Retroviruses and LTR Retrotransposons [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT The enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) was discovered in retroviruses almost 50 years ago. The demonstration that other types of viruses, and what are now called retrotransposons, also replicated using an enzyme that could copy RNA into DNA came a few years later.
