Recognize Yourself—Innate Sensing of Non-LTR Retrotransposons [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Although mobile genetic elements, or transposons, have played an important role in genome evolution, excess activity of mobile elements can have detrimental consequences.

Variation in base composition underlies functional and evolutionary divergence in non-LTR retrotransposons [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2020 Background Non-LTR retrotransposons often exhibit base composition that is markedly different from the nucleotide content of their host’s gene. For instance, the mammalian L1 element is AT-rich with a strong A bias on the positive strand, which results ...

Examining non-LTR retrotransposons in the context of the evolving primate brain [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2017 Researchers have long sought to understand the genetic basis of the cognitive differences between primates, with particular focus on the human brain. Although all mutational types have worked in concert with evolutionary forces to generate the current ...

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.

Ancient Origin of the U2 Small Nuclear RNA Gene-Targeting Non-LTR Retrotransposons Utopia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Most non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons encoding a restriction-like endonuclease show target-specific integration into repetitive sequences such as ribosomal RNA genes and microsatellites.

Mosquitoes LTR retrotransposons: a deeper view into the genomic sequence of Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A set of 67 novel LTR-retrotransposon has been identified by in silico analyses of the Culex quinquefasciatus genome using the LTR_STRUC program. The phylogenetic analysis shows that 29 novel and putatively functional LTR-retrotransposons detected belong

Hagfish genome reveals parallel evolution of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs
Mobile DNA, 2020 Background Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic genomes. SINEs are composite transposable elements that are mobilized by non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons, also called long interspersed elements ...
