Genomic Diversity and Abundance of LINE Retrotransposons in 4 Anole Lizards

abstract: Vertebrate genomes demonstrate a remarkable range of sizes from 0.3 to 133 gigabase pairs. The proliferation of repeat elements are a major genomic expansion. In particular, long interspersed nuclear elements (LINES) are autonomous retrotransposons that have the ability to "cut and pa...
