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.

Retrotransposons in pluripotent stem cells
Cell Regeneration, 2020 Transposable elements constitute about half of the mammalian genome, and can be divided into two classes: the class I (retrotransposons) and the class II (DNA transposons).

Scientific Reports, 2021 Type I interferon (IFN) plays a crucial role in innate and adaptive immunity, and aberrant IFN responses are involved in systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and dermatomyositis (DM).

Retrotransposons as pathogenicity factors of the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea
Genome Biology, 2021 Background Retrotransposons are genetic elements inducing mutations in all domains of life. Despite their detrimental effect, retrotransposons can become temporarily active during epigenetic reprogramming and cellular stress response, which may ...

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

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 ...

Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1): passenger or driver in human neoplasms? [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons make up a significant portion of human genomes, with an estimated 500,000 copies per genome. Like other retrotransposons, L1 retrotransposons propagate through RNA sequences that are reverse transcribed into DNA sequences ...

Caryologia, 2020 Long terminal repeat retrotransposons have a main role in shaping the structure of plant genomes. We used available genomic resources to study as several factors affect the expression of long terminal repeat retrotransposons in Populus trichocarpa.

The Singular Evolution of Olea Genome Structure
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The current view of plant genome evolution proposes that genome size has mainly been determined by polyploidisation and amplification/loss of transposons, with a minor role played by other repeated sequences, such as tandem repeats.
