DNA Modification Patterns within the Transposable Elements of the Fig (Ficus carica L.) Genome
Plants, 2021 Transposable element activity can be harmful to the host’s genome integrity, but it can also provide selective advantages. One strategy to cope with transposons is epigenetic control through DNA base modifications.

Transposable elements: How non-LTR retrotransposons do it [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 The source of the enzyme activity responsible for the transposition of retrotransposons of the type that lack terminal repeats has at last been identified: in L1Hs elements, it is encoded by the second open reading frame and is a nuclease related to the apurinic repair endonucleases.

Site-specific non-LTR retrotransposons
Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT Although most of non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are incorporated in the host genome almost randomly, some non-LTR retrotransposons are incorporated into specific sequences within a target site. On the basis of structural and phylogenetic features, non-LTR retrotransposons are classified into two large groups ...

Additional ORFs in plant LTR-retrotransposons [PDF]
, 2020 Altres ajuts: CERCA Programme/Generalitat de CatalunyaLTR-retrotransposons share a common genomic organization in which the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) is followed by the gag and pol genes and terminates with the 3' LTR.

, 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 search for reverse transcriptase-coding sequences reveals new non-LTR retrotransposons in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
, 2000 BACKGROUND: Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are eukaryotic mobile genetic elements that transpose by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. We have performed a systematic search for sequences matching the characteristic reverse

Association of endogenous retroviruses and long terminal repeats with human disorders
Frontiers in Oncology, 2013 Since the human genome sequences became available in 2001, our knowledge about the human transposable elements which comprise ~40% of the total nucleotides has been expanding.

Obtaining retrotransposon sequences, analysis of their genomic distribution and use of retrotransposon-derived genetic markers in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Retrotransposons with long terminal repeats (LTR-RTs) are widespread mobile elements in eukaryotic genomes. We obtained a total of 81 partial LTR-RT sequences from lentil corresponding to internal retrotransposon components and LTRs.
