Retrotransposonderived
Retrotransposons are a class of mobile genetic elements that can move from one location to another within a genome. They are derived from retroelements, which are a subset of transposable elements that transpose via an RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons are further classified into two main types: long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons and non-LTR retrotransposons.
LTR retrotransposons are characterized by the presence of long terminal repeats at their ends, which are sequences
Non-LTR retrotransposons, on the other hand, lack the long terminal repeats and are further divided into two
Retrotransposons have played a significant role in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. They are responsible for
