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.

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 ...

Comprehensive DNA Methylation Analysis of Retrotransposons in Male Germ Cells
Cell Reports, 2015 De novo DNA methylation of retrotransposons is critical for silencing. Here, we use DNA methylation analysis to examine retrotransposons in mouse male germ cells.

Ancient Origin of the U2 Small Nuclear RNA Gene-Targeting Non-LTR Retrotransposons Utopia [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Most non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons encoding a restriction-like endonuclease show target-specific integration into repetitive sequences such as ribosomal RNA genes and microsatellites.

BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Many studies have shown that guanine-rich DNA sequences form quadruplex structures (G4) in vitro but there is scarce evidence of guanine quadruplexes in vivo.

Turning gold into 'junk': transposable elements utilize central proteins of cellular networks [PDF]
, 2013 The numerous discovered cases of domesticated transposable element (TE) proteins led to the recognition that TEs are a significant source of evolutionary innovation.

Exonization of the LTR transposable elements in human genome
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background Retrotransposons have been shown to contribute to evolution of both structure and regulation of protein coding genes. It has been postulated that the primary mechanism by which retrotransposons contribute to structural gene evolution is ...

Transposable Elements and Genome Size Variations in Plants [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2014 Although the number of protein-coding genes is not highly variable between plant taxa, the DNA content in their genomes is highly variable, by as much as 2,056-fold from a 1C amount of 0.0648 pg to 132.5 pg.
