Exceptional diversity, non-random distribution, and rapid evolution of retroelements in the B73 maize genome.

Exceptional diversity, non-random distribution, and rapid evolution of retroelements in the B73 maize genome.

Recent comprehensive sequence analysis of the maize genome now permits detailed discovery and description of all transposable elements (TEs) in this complex nuclear environment. Reiteratively optimized structural and homology criteria were used in the computer-assisted search for retroelements, TEs...
