TY - JOUR AU - Bleykasten-Grosshans, Claudine AU - Friedrich, Anne AU - Schacherer, Joseph PY - 2013 DA - 2013/06/14 TI - Genome-wide analysis of intraspecific transposon diversity in yeast JO - BMC Genomics SP - 399 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - In the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transposable elements (TEs) consist of LTR (Long Terminal Repeat) retrotransposons called Ty elements belonging to five families, Ty1 to Ty5. They take the form of either full-length coding elements or non-coding solo-LTRs corresponding to remnants of former transposition events. Although the biological features of Ty elements have been studied in detail in S. cerevisiae and the Ty content of the reference strain (S288c) was accurately annotated, the Ty-related intra-specific diversity has not been closely investigated so far.
