Examining non-LTR retrotransposons in the context of the evolving primate brain. [PDF]

BMC Biol, 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]

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.

LTR retrotransposons in fungi. [PDF]

, 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.

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]

, 2013
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

Lost in translation : The biogenesis of non-LTR retrotransposon proteins [PDF]

, 2013
This research was supported by UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Wellcome Trust.“Young” APE-type non-LTR retrotransposons (non-LTRs) typically encode two open reading frames (ORFs 1 and 2).

APE-type non-LTR retrotransposons of multicellular organisms encode virus-like 2A oligopeptide sequences, which mediate translational recoding during protein synthesis [PDF]

, 2013
2A oligopeptide sequences (“2As”) mediate a cotranslational recoding event termed “ribosome skipping.” Previously we demonstrated the activity of 2As (and “2A-like sequences”) within a wide range of animal RNA virus genomes and non-long terminal repeat ...

A specific insertion of a solo-LTR characterizes the Y chromosome of Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae) [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Relatively few species of flowering plants are dioecious and even fewer are known to have sex chromosomes. Current theory posits that homomorphic sex chromosomes, such as found in Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae), offer insight into the early ...

LTR retrotransposons shape genome architecture, function, and evolution in diverse plant species. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Long 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. Here,

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.

Isolation of a transcriptionally active element of high copy number retrotransposons in sweetpotato genome [PDF]

, 2004
Many plant retrotransposons have been characterized, but only three families (Tnt1, Tto1 and Tos17) have been demonstrated to be transpositionally competent.
