Retrotranspositions in orthologous regions of closely related grass species
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Retrotransposons are commonly occurring eukaryotic transposable elements (TEs). Among these, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the most abundant TEs and can comprise 50–90% of the genome in higher plants. By comparing t...
