LINE and gypsy-like retroelements were studied in the genome of Hordeum vulgare, and
compared with the representatives of the major sections of the genus Hordeum. We isolated …

Rotifers of the class Bdelloidea, microscopic freshwater invertebrates, possess a highly-
diversified repertoire of transposon families, which, however, occupy less than 4% of …

Avian genomes are characterized as being more compact than other amniotes, with less
diversity and density of transposable elements (TEs). In addition, birds usually show bimodal …

Rex1, together with the related Babar elements, represents a new family of non-long-
terminal-repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons from fish, which might be related to the CR1 …

A simple tissue culture protocol was developed for efficient plant regeneration from young
inflorescence-derived calli in wild barley, Hordeum brevisubulatum (Trin.) Link, an important …

Retrotransposons are present in high copy number in many plant genomes. They show a
considerable degree of sequence heterogeneity and insertional polymorphism, both within …

We have used the degenerated oligonucleotide primers-PCR (DOP-PCR) technique to
determine the presence of Ty1/copia-related retrotransposons in the wild species of tomato …

Background Retrotransposons comprise a ubiquitous and abundant class of eukaryotic
transposable elements. All members of this class rely on reverse transcriptase activity to …

We report the characterization and chromosomal distribution of retroelements in the compact
genome of the pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis. We have reconstructed partial/complete …
