Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposons are ubiquitous components of plant genomes. They affect genome organization, and can also affect the expression patterns of neighboring genes. Retrotransposons are therefore important elements for changing genomic information. To understand the evolution of the Arabidopsis genome, we examined the distribution of certain retrotransposons, AtRE1s and AtRE2s, in the genomes of 12 natural variants...
