Background Polyploidization can activate specific transposable elements, leading to their
accumulation. At the same time, the preferential loss of repetitive elements in polyploids may …

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the major contributor to genome size
expansion, as in the cases of the maize genome or the axolotl genome. Despite their impact …

Like other eukaryotes, the nuclear genome of plants consists of DNA with a small proportion
of low-copy DNA (genes and regulatory sequences) and very abundant DNA sequence …

Rotifers of class Bdelloidea, a group of aquatic invertebrates in which males and meiosis
have never been documented, are also unusual in their lack of multicopy LINE-like and …

A real-time PCR approach was adopted and optimized to estimate and compare, through a
relative quantification, the copy number of WIS2-1A and BARE-1 retrotransposons. The aim …

The BARE-1 retrotransposon is an active, dispersed, and highly abundant component of the
genome of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other species in its genus. Like all …

Although copia retrotransposons are major components of all plant genomes, the
evolutionary relationships between individual copia families and between elements from …

A portion of an insertion sequence present in a member of the RIRE3 family of
retrotransposons in Oryza sativa L. cv. IR36 was found to have an LTR sequence followed …

Key message This manuscript mainly deals about the diversity and transcriptional activity of
Ty1-copia in Pongamia genome. Abstract Pongamia pinnata, a leguminous tree, is popularly …

Crustacean species have not been examined in great detail for their transposable elements
content. Here we focus on galatheid crabs, which are one of the most diverse and …
