LTR retrotransposons in fungi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Transposable elements with long terminal direct repeats (LTR TEs) are one of the best studied groups of mobile elements. They are ubiquitous elements present in almost all eukaryotic genomes.

BMC Genomics, 2007 Background LTR retrotransposons are a class of mobile genetic elements containing two similar long terminal repeats (LTRs). Currently, LTR retrotransposons are annotated in eukaryotic genomes mainly through the conventional homology searching approach ...

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

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.

Large-scale transcriptome data reveals transcriptional activity of fission yeast LTR retrotransposons [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Retrotransposons are transposable elements that proliferate within eukaryotic genomes through a process involving reverse transcription. The numbers of retrotransposons within genomes and differences between closely related species may yield ...

LTR retrotransposons in rice (
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background LTR retrotransposons are one of the main causes for plant genome size and structure evolution, along with polyploidy. The characterization of their amplification and subsequent elimination of the genomes is therefore a major goal in plant ...

Horizontal Transfer of Non-LTR Retrotransposons
, 2012 Horizontal transfer is a complex phenomenon usually used as explanation of phylogenetic inconsistence which can not be interpreted in terms of vertical evolution. Most examples of horizontal transfer of eukaryotic genes involve transposable elements.
