Eight intact LTR retrotransposons (Nbr1–Nbr8) have been previously characterized from the
genome of Nosema bombycis, a eukaryotic parasite with a compact and reduced genome …

Multiple origins of the same polyploid species pose the question: Does evolution repeat
itself in these independently formed lineages? Tragopogon is a unique evolutionary model …

Genomic retrotransposons are major genomic components in most eukaryotic organisms.
Their abundance in the genome is generally correlated with genome size. These elements …

We used 22 fragments corresponding to the reverse transcriptase domain of copia-like
retrotransposons as representatives to study the organization and distribution of these …

A homogeneous array of 80 tandem repeats of the Bari1 transposon is located in the
pericentromeric h39 region of chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we report …

A copia-like retrotransposon referred to as PyRE1G1 was isolated from the genome of the
red alga Porphyra yezoensis. PyRE1G1 is 4807 bp in length, with 204 bp long terminal …

LTR retrotransposons belong to a major group of DNA sequences that are often localized in
plant centromeres. Using BAC inserts originating from the centromere of a monosomic wild …

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute a significant portion of most
eukaryote genomes and can dramatically change genome size and organization. Although …

RIRE1 is a retrotransposon present in wild rice Oryza australiensis in an extraordinary
number of copies, and only a portion of the LTR sequence has been determined previously …

Abstract Retrotransposon (RTN)-based markers, such as the inter-retrotransposon amplified
polymorphism (IRAP) and the retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism …
