The majority of small RNA fragments correspond to repetitive elements (Table1) and 98% of the reads that align to repeat regions cover diatom LTR retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) [25], the most abundant TE family in diatom genomes. These fragments tend to have a length between 25 and 30 nt, co...
A notable feature of the rice genome is that LTR retrotransposons were identified in 30.7% of the rice genome [63], which suggests that LTR retrotransposons may be an important source of CNVs in rice. Indeed, we performed a cursory analysis for TE/repeat contents in regions that were identifi...
In all the assembled sea snakes, LTRs were one of the most abundant repeat elements, accounting for 26.4% of all annotated interspersed repeats inH. major, 25.5% inH. elegans, 27.6% inH. ornatusand 27.3% inH. curtus(West) (Fig.2A–D). Gypsy and Copia LTR elements constitute the predomin...
SMRTcell libraries were placed onto the RSII machine at a sequencing concentration of 150 pM and configured for a 240-min continuous sequencing run. Sequencing was conducted to achieve a 7401 bp subread N50 across a total of 1.5 Gb of data comprised of 268,000 reads on 2 SMRTcells. Due ...
