Dear Sir, I am using the repeatmasker result from the UCSC data in anole genome (version2.0).
But I found no LTR repeat results in this table. In contrast, One paper has indicated the existence of LTR in anole genome. Please refer to the reference "The evolution of two partner LINE/SINE families and a full-length chromodomain-containing Ty3/Gypsy LTR element in the first reptilian genome of Anolis carolinensis" . _____________________________________________________________________ "LTR retroelements (LTR retrotransposons and retroviruses) repre-sent the second sub-type of class I TEs. The genome of Anolis harbours a number of previously characterized LTR retrotransposons, which represent less than 0.2% of the total genomic sequence ( Table 2 ). Furthermore, we identified N 20,0 0 0 copies of a new LTR retro-transposon which account for approximately 2% of the genomic sequence of Anolis ( Table 2 ). These copies pertain to a novel element belonging to the Ty3/Gypsy ( Metaviridae) group, which spreads in a wide number of plant, fungi and animal genomes (for more details see Eickbush and Malik 20 02)." _____________________________________________________________________ Could you please help me about this? Many thanks for your help, Best wishes, Sincerely, Dapeng _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
