The RT of Osr4 shows 50% similarity to that of retroelements in the Arabidopsis genome (for example, BAB01972, NP_175303).
There are many retroelements and DNA transposons flanking maize genes, and they may contribute to the rapid divergence of transcriptional regulation [ 48].
Sequence retrieval was initiated via BLASTN searches (default parameters- [ 37 ] ) against the BDGP http://www.fruitfly.organd GenBank http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govdatabases using LTRs from previously identified Drosophila retroelements as queries [ 15 ] . Results with E-values < e -10were annotated on the corresponding clone, whereupon visual inspection of several annotations confirmed the presence of retroelements proximal to known genes.
Because it searches for retroelements on the basis of their generic structure, LTR_STRUC eliminates much of the bias inherent in BLAST searches based on a known retroelement query.
It has been hypothesized that the rate of turnover of retroelements may be higher in small genomes as a result of the presence of less effective epigenetic silencing mechanisms [ 10].
