  1. ...Stenocereus gummosus, and D. m. sonorensis is also a columnar cacti dweller, using Stenocereus thurberi (Newby and Etges 1998). Therefore, this set of species from the buzzatii and mojavensis clusters provides an excellent model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying host shift evolution...
  2. ....gene.2012.07.042 ↵Chuong EB, Elde NC, Feschotte C. 2016. Regulatory evolution of innate immunity through co-option of endogenous retroviruses. Science 351: 1083–1087. doi:10.1126/science.aad5497 ↵Curcio MJ, Lutz S, Lesage P. 2015. The Ty1 LTR-retrotransposon of budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae...
  3. ...). The main distinguishing characteristic is that some LTR retrotransposons, such as Ty1 in yeast, do not contain an envelope gene, which renders retroviruses infectious. Many LTR retrotransposons, such as gypsy from D. melanogaster , however, do encode Envelope proteins and are infectious ( Song et al. 1994...
  4. ...retrotransposons exist in a wide range of eukaryotes including insects, plants, fungi, yeasts, and fishes. Recently, fossils of LTR retrotransposons were identified in mammals at a very low copy number ( Volff et al. 2001 ). The structure of LTR retrotransposons is comparable to that of the retroviruses...
  5. ...into the of the host. LTR retrotransposons are also genetically similar to endogenous retroviruses in that they are integrated in the germline of their host. Therefore, LTR retrotransposons serve as excellent model systems for understanding the evolutionary impact that they and endogenous retroviruses have on the host...
  6. ....In plant s, the predominant association between transposons and centromeres involves retrotransposons. However, in fungi and animals, a notable connection exists between Pogo DNA elements and the centromeres. The mammalian CENP-B protein and the fission yeast Abp1, Cbh1, and Cbh2 proteins are centromere...

  7. ...-strand transcript, including the proteins encoded by the gag and pol genes. Over time, mutations in the host will lead to a deterioration of TE sequence and a corresponding decrease in activity. Transcribed LTR retrotransposons in our system fall predominantly into young age bins (<8% divergence from the consensus...
  8. ...of Medicine, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63108, USA Although retroviruses are relatively promiscuous in choice of integration sites, retrotransposons can display marked integration specificity. In yeast and slime mold, some retrotransposons are associated with tRNA genes (t...
  9. ...(Sultana et al. 2017; Gilbert and Feschotte 2018; Klein and O'Neill 2018). The genomic distribution of retrotransposons and retroviruses is not random (Kvaratskhelia et al. 2014; Sandmeyer et al. 2015; Lesbats et al. 2016; Sultana et al. 2017). Because sites of integration can be key determinants...
  10. ...in Monodelphis than in human or mouse. In particular, 2.1% of the opossum is identified as copies of L3 elements, which is seven times higher than the 0.3% found in human. Endogenous retroviruses We identified at least 45 families of endogenous retroviruses (ERV; LTR retrotransposons) that have recognizable...
