A search for reverse transcriptase-coding sequences reveals new non-LTR retrotransposons in the genome of

Background: Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons are eukaryotic mobile genetic elements that transpose by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. We have performed a systematic search for sequences…

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons of

A new data-mining program, LTR_STRUC, was used to mine the GenBank rice (Oryza sativa) database as well as the more extensive Monsanto rice dataset for long terminal repeat retrotransposons. Each of the major clades of…
