Retrotransposons (also called Class I transposable elements) are mobile elements which move in the host genome by converting their transcribed RNA into...

Retrotransposon markers are components of DNA which are used as cladistic markers. They assist in determining the common ancestry, or not, of related...

LTR retrotransposons are class I transposable elements (TEs) characterized by the presence of long terminal repeats (LTRs) directly flanking an internal...

The Ty5 is a type of retrotransposon native to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae organism. Ty5 is one of five endogenous retrotransposons native to the model...

Retrotransposon Gag like 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RTL3 gene. This gene is a member of a family of gag-related retrotransposon genes...

living organism. There are at least two classes of TEs: Class I TEs or retrotransposons generally function via reverse transcription, while Class II TEs or...

and then self propagating throughout the genome, much like a virus. Retrotransposons are a subset of transposable elements that use an RNA intermediate...

Cer6 is a LTR retrotransposon that is described from sequencing data in the chromosome III of C. elegans. LTR retrotransposons are class I transposable...

Metaviridae is a family of viruses which exist as Ty3-gypsy LTR retrotransposons in a eukaryotic host's genome. They are closely related to retroviruses:...

another retrotransposon. Retrotransposons can be transcribed into RNA, which are then duplicated at another site into the genome. Retrotransposons can be...
