Non-LTR retrotransposons (NLRs) are a unique class of mobile genetic elements that have significant impact on the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. However, the molecular details and functions of their ...

Both the retrotransposon and retrovirus life cycles are inherently error-prone and mutagenic. Once a copy is replicated and inserted, it likely displays neutral or nearly neutral rates of decay over ...

Molecular, or DNA-based, markers have been increasingly important in plant breeding because of their phenotypic stability, useful polymorphism, and ease of development which permits production of high ...
