Retrotransposons are genetic elements that can move within the genome. They can cause
mutations by inserting themselves near or within genes. They may also have an important …

Retrotransposable elements have played an important role in shaping eukaryotic DNA, and
their activity and turnover rate directly influence the size of genomes. With approximately …

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 …

Transposable elements are repetitive DNA sequences comprising a group of segments able
to move and carry sequences within the genome. Studies involving comparative genomics …

A repetitive sequence, pAs17, was isolated from Avena strigosa (As genome) and
characterized. The insert was 646 bp in length and showed 54% AT content. Databank …

In this work, we report a comprehensive study of long terminal repeat retrotransposons of
Populus trichocarpa. Our research group studied the retrotransposon component of the …

Background The three superfamilies of Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are a
widespread kind of transposable element and a major factor in eukaryotic genome …

Background Of the major families of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, the
Pao/BEL family is probably the least well studied. It is becoming apparent that numerous …

Transposons and retrotransposons represent a great portion of the eukaryotic genome.
These repeated elements can be defined as genetic entities capable of self-inserting into …

Retrotransposons are present in all plant genomes and play important roles in genome size,
genome structure remodeling, gene function, and genome evolution. Eight novel long …
