LTR retrotransposons in rice (Oryza sativa, L.): recent burst amplifications followed by rapid DNA loss

BACKGROUND: LTR retrotransposons are one of the main causes for plant genome size and structure evolution, along with polyploidy. The characterization of their amplification and subsequent elimination of the genomes is therefore a major goal in plant evolutionary genomics. To address the extent and...
