Lost in translation : The biogenesis of non-LTR retrotransposon proteins [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 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).

CR1 clade of non-LTR retrotransposons from
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that propagate themselves by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Non-LTR retrotransposons are known to evolve mainly via vertical transmission and random

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.

BMC Genomics, 2005 Background It is becoming apparent that perhaps as much as half of the genome of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni is constituted of mobile genetic element-related sequences.

APE-type non-LTR retrotransposons: determinants involved in target site recognition
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005 Non-long terminal repeat (Non-LTR) retrotransposons represent a diverse and widely distributed group of transposable elements and an almost ubiquitous component of eukaryotic genomes that has a major impact on evolution.

Getting closer to a pre-vertebrate genome: the non-LTR retrotransposons of
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006 Non-LTR retrotransposons are common in vertebrate genomes and although present in invertebrates they appear at a much lower frequency. The cephalochordate amphioxus is the closest living relative to vertebrates and has been considered a good model for ...

Characterization of two non-LTR retrotransposons from Sogatella furcifera and Nilaparvata lugens [PDF]
Arthropods, 2019 The fiWe have cloned two retrotransposons, one named SF-RT from Sogatella furcifera and another named NL-Rt from Nilaparvata lugens genome. Both SF-RT and NL-RT are members of the Daphne clade, and encode two open reading frames (ORFs) required for ...

Composite non-LTR retrotransposons in hominoid primates. [PDF]
Mob Genet Elements, 2015 Composite retrotransposons are widely distributed in the plant and animal kingdoms. Some of the most complex of these are found in hominoid primates. SVA, LAVA, PVA and FVA combine simple repeats, Alu fragments, a VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) and variable 3' domains, which are, except for PVA, derived from other retrotransposons. Although a

Non-LTR retrotransposons and microsatellites: Partners in genomic variation. [PDF]
Mob Genet Elements, 2013 The human genome is laden with both non-LTR (long-terminal repeat) retrotransposons and microsatellite repeats. Both types of sequences are able to, either actively or passively, mutagenize the genomes of human individuals and are therefore poised to dynamically alter the human genomic landscape across generations.
