Mollusc genomes reveal variability in patterns of LTR-retrotransposons dynamics
Abstract Background The three superfamilies of Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are a widespread kind of transposable element and a major factor in eukaryotic genome evolution. In metazoans, recent studies suggested that Copia LTR-retrotransposons display specific dynamic compared to the...
