Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are prevalent in plant genomes. The
identification of LTR-RTs is critical for achieving high-quality gene annotation. Based on the …

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

The availability of complete or nearly complete genome sequences from several plant
species permits detailed discovery and crossspecies comparison of transposable elements …

Annotation of plant genomes is still a challenging task due to the abundance of repetitive
sequences, especially long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons. LTR_FINDER is a …

Background Plant LTR-retrotransposons are classified into two superfamilies, Ty1/copia and
Ty3/gypsy. They are further divided into an enormous number of families which are, due to …

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 …

Dear Editor, Transposable elements (TEs) constitute the largest portion of repetitive
sequences in many eukaryotic genomes, with long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR …

LTR retrotransposons constitute a significant part of plant genomes and their evolutionary
dynamics play an important role in genome size changes. Current methods of LTR …

Long terminal repeat-retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are the most abundant class of
transposable elements (TEs) in plants. They strongly impact the structure, function, and …

Abstract Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are ubiquitous components of plant
genomes. Because of their copy-and-paste mode of transposition, these elements tend to …
