A diversity of uncharacterized reverse transcriptases in bacteria.

Nucleic acids research - 1 Dec 2008

Simon Dawn M, Zimmerly Steven

Abstract excerpt

Retroelements are usually considered to be eukaryotic elements because of the large number and variety in eukaryotic genomes. By comparison, reverse transcriptases (RTs) are rare in bacteria, with only three characterized classes: retrons, group II introns and diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs). Here, we present the results of a bioinformatic survey that aims to define the landscape of RTs across...
