Non-LTR retrotransposons in fungi

Functional and Integrative Genomics, 2008
Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons have contributed to shaping the structure and function of genomes. Fungi have small genomes, usually with limited amounts of repetitive DNA. In silico approach has been used to survey the non-LTR elements in 57 fungal genomes.

LTR retrotransposons and the evolution of eukaryotic enhancers

Genetica, 1997
Since LTR retrotransposons and retroviruses are especially prone to regional duplications and recombination events, these viral-like systems may be especially conducive to the evolution of closely spaced combinatorial regulatory motifs. Using the Drosophila copia LTR retrotransposon as a model, we show that a regulatory region contained within the ...

LTR retrotransposons in plants

Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research, 2011
Ty1/copia and Ty3/gypsy LTR retrotransposons represent a significant part of plant genomes and play an important role in their structure, functioning, and evolution. The majority of information about this group of transposable elements is related to agricultural plant species and model objects, such as Arabidopsis thaliana. The most investigated groups
