Abstract excerpt
We examined the diversity, evolution, and genomic organization of retroelements in a wide range of gymnosperms. In total, 165 fragments of the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene domain were sequenced from PCR products using newly designed primers for gypsy-like retrotransposons and well-known primers for copia-like retrotransposons; representatives of long interspersed nuclear element (LINE) retroposons were also...
