Impact of LTR-Retrotransposons on Genome Structure, Evolution, and Function in Curcurbitaceae Species

Impact of LTR-Retrotransposons on Genome Structure, Evolution, and Function in Curcurbitaceae Species

Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) comprise a major portion of many plant genomes and may exert a profound impact on genome structure, function, and evolution. Although many studies have focused on these elements in an individual species, their dynamics on a family level remains e...
