CARE1, a TY3-gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposon in the food legume chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) [PDF]
, 2007 We report a novel Ty3-gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposon CARE1 (_Cicer arietinum_ retro-element 1) in chickpea. This 5920-bp AT-rich (63%) element carries 723-bp 5' and 897-bp 3' LTRs respectively flanking an internal region of 4300-bp.

The Site-Specific Amino Acid Preferences of Homologous Proteins Depend on Sequence Divergence
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018 The propensity of protein sites to be occupied by any of the 20 amino acids is known as site-specific amino acid preferences (SSAP). Under the assumption that SSAP are conserved among homologs, they can be used to parameterize evolutionary models for the reconstruction of accurate phylogenetic trees.
