Abstract excerpt
BARE-1 is a highly abundant, copia-like, LTR (long terminal repeat) retrotransposon in the genus Hordeum. The LTRs provide the promoter, terminator, and polyadenylation signals necessary for the replicational life cycle of retrotransposons. We have examined the variability and evolution of BARE-1-like elements, focusing on the LTRs. Three groups were found, corresponding to each of the Hordeum genome types...
