retroposones
retrotransposones
retrotransposones MDG1
transposón Ty1
Scope note: Elementos que se transcriben en el ARN, tienen transcripción inversa en el ADN y luego se insertan en un sitio nuevo del genoma. Las repeticiones terminales largas (LTR) similares a la de los retrovirus están contenidas en los retrotransposones y en elementos semejantes a retrovirus. Los retroposones, como los ELEMENTOS NUCLEOTÍDICOS INTERCALADOS LARGOS y los ELEMENTOS NUCLEOTÍDICOS INTERCALADOS CORTOS, no contienen repeticiones terminales largas.

Scope note: Elements that are transcribed into RNA, reverse-transcribed into DNA and then inserted into a new site in the genome. Long terminal repeats (LTRs) similar to those from retroviruses are contained in retrotransposons and retrovirus-like elements. Retroposons, such as LONG INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS and SHORT INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS do not contain LTRs.
