Additional ORFs in Plant LTR-Retrotransposons [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 LTR-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.

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.

Nested plant LTR retrotransposons target specific regions of other elements, while all LTR retrotransposons often target palindromes and nucleosome-occupied regions: in silico study [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2019 Background Nesting is common in LTR retrotransposons, especially in large genomes containing a high number of elements. Results We analyzed 12 plant genomes and obtained 1491 pairs of nested and original (pre-existing) LTR retrotransposons.

The Role of Non-LTR Retrotransposons in Sterile Inflammation: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential [PDF]
BiomedicinesNon-long terminal repeat (Non-LTR) retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that replicate through a “copy-and-paste” mechanism, enabling their expansion within the genome.
