Availability of genome sequence of different legume species has provided an opportunity to
characterize the abundance, distribution, and divergence of canonical intact long terminal …

LTR retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are ubiquitous and represent the dominant repeat element
in plant genomes, playing important roles in functional variation, genome plasticity and …

Background Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR elements) are ubiquitous

Background: Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR elements) are ubiquitous
Eukaryotic TEs that transpose through RNA intermediates. Accounting for significant …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile elements found in the majority of eukaryotic
genomes. TEs deeply impact the structure and evolution of chromosomes and can induce …

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the major class I mobile elements in plants.
They play crucial roles in gene expansion, diversification and evolution. However, their …

Background Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute a major fraction of the
genomes of higher plants. For example, retrotransposons comprise more than 50% of the …

The amplification and recombination of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons have
proven to determine the size, organization, function, and evolution of most host genomes …

Retrotransposons with long terminal repeats (LTR-RTs) are widespread mobile elements in
eukaryotic genomes. We obtained a total of 81 partial LTR-RT sequences from lentil …

Plant genomes include large numbers of transposable elements. One particular type of
these elements is flanked by two Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs) and can translocate using …
