MegaLTR: a web server and standalone pipeline for detecting and annotating LTR-retrotransposons in plant genomes

LTR-retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are a class of RNA-replicating transposon elements (TEs) that can alter genome structure and function by moving positions, repositioning genes, shifting exons, and causing chromosomal rearrangements. LTR-RTs are widespread in many plant genomes and constitute a signifi...
