Virus-like attachment sites and plastic CpG islands:landmarks of diversity in plant Del retrotransposons.

Virus-like attachment sites and plastic CpG islands:landmarks of diversity in plant Del retrotransposons.

Full-length Del elements from ten angiosperm genomes, 5 monocot and 5 dicot, were retrieved and putative attachment (att) sites were identified. In the 2432 Del elements, two types of U5 att sites and a single conserved type of U3 att site were identified. Retroviral att sites confer specificity to...
