Non-LTR Retrotransposons in Mosquitoes: Diversity, Evolution, and Analysis of Potentially Active Elements
This research focuses on non-Long Terminal Repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons in the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae and other mosquito species. An unprecedented diversity of non-LTRs was discovered by genome analysis of the An. gambiae genome assembly. One hundred and four families were …

Exploring the TE landscape of elephant and CR1 accumulation, evolution and effects of selection in the class Chondrichthyes
… that much of the genome (29%) was composed of non-LTR retrotransposons such as SINE and LINES. Interestingly the LINE CR1 showed peaks of accumulation in the distant past. We estimated that these insertions occurred ~ 400 million years ago (mya). Further investigation was performed to better …

The role of mobile elements in recent primate genomes
… a new type of MEs, which we term “retro-DNA” for non-LTR retrotransposons derived from DNA transposons, in the recent primate genomes. By investigating biallelic DNA transposons that have both the insertion and pre-integration alleles in ten primate genomes, a total of 1,750 retro-DNA elements …

Diversity and Evolution of Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements (SINEs) in Angiosperm and Gymnosperm Species and their Application as molecular Markers for Genotyping
… interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are small non-autonomous and heterogeneous retrotransposons, widespread in animals and plants and usually differentially propagated in related species resulting in genome-specific copy numbers. Within the monocots, the Poaceae (sweet grasses) is the largest …
