Example sentences for: retrotransposons

How can you use “retrotransposons” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

We have chosen to adopt the Osr nomenclature in this study because it is consistent with the systematic logic (indicative of genus and species of host organism) used in previous genomic studies of LTR retrotransposons and includes the letter 'r' to indicate retrotransposon.
L1s are one of the most abundant non-LTR retrotransposons, comprising 17% of the human genome [ 1].
Alternatively, it has been reported that the poly(A) tails of retrotransposons may be a source for the creation of microsatellites through post-insertional mutations [ 24, 54]; the patterned tails we found may therefore exemplify this transition from poly(A) tail to microsatellites.
The newly developed search algorithm (LTR_STRUC) we have used in this study to initially identify LTR retrotransposons in the rice genome is not dependent upon sequence homology as are standard search methods such as BLAST.
Retrotransposons fall into two main categories, those with long terminal repeats (LTRs), such as retroviruses and LTR retrotransposons, and those that lack such repeats, (for example, long interspersed nuclear elements or LINEs).
