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.

Hide and seek: de novo identification in sugar beet reveals impact of non-autonomous LTR retrotransposons [PDF]
Mobile DNAPlant genomes are filled with retrotransposons and their derivatives, constantly undergoing sequence diversification and structural rearrangement. Among them, short, non-autonomous retrotransposons lack full coding capacity and often form subfamilies. As

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

LTR retrotransposons shape genome architecture, function, and evolution in diverse plant species [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceLong terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are major components of plant genomes, shaping genome structure and evolution; however, their chromosomal distribution and lineage-specific dynamics remain incompletely understood.

Retand LTR-retrotransposons in plants: a long way from pol to 3'LTR. [PDF]
Mob DNAPlant Gypsy LTR-retrotransposons are classified into lineages according to the phylogenetic relationships of the reverse transcriptase. Retand is a lineage of non-chromovirus elements characterized by the presence of a long internal region compared to ...

LTR-retrotransposons in plants: Engines of evolution
Gene, 2017 LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in plants. These elements can fall inside or close to genes, and therefore influence their expression and evolution.
