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 ...

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.

Evolutionary history of Oryza sativa LTR retrotransposons: a preliminary survey of the rice genome sequences [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2004
Background LTR Retrotransposons transpose through reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate and are ubiquitous components of all eukaryotic genomes thus far examined.

Simulation-based estimation of branching models for LTR retrotransposons [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2017
International audienceMotivation: LTR retrotransposons are mobile elements that are able, like retroviruses, to copy and move inside eukaryotic genomes.

Rapid and Recent Evolution of LTR Retrotransposons Drives Rice Genome Evolution During the Speciation of AA-Genome Oryza Species

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
The dynamics of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons and their contribution to genome evolution during plant speciation have remained largely unanswered.

The Role of Non-LTR Retrotransposons in Sterile Inflammation: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential [PDF]

Biomedicines
Non-long terminal repeat (Non-LTR) retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that replicate through a “copy-and-paste” mechanism, enabling their expansion within the genome.

Sequence-independent identification of active LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Molecular Plant, 2018
Detection of retrotransposons capable of contemporary transposition is hampered by the replicative nature of their movement and is usually limited to fortuitous observations of new integration events causing visible phenotypes.

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.
