The phylogenetic relationships among thirty-seven new Ty1-copia group retrotransposons in seven angiosperm plants were examined by reverse transcriptase and ribonuclease H sequence analysis. Distribution pattern of the retrotransposons of closely related plant species generally reflects a close phylogenetic relationship. In contrast, we found that several retrotransposon sequences from the same genome exhibited a high degree of divergence and had a relatively high degree of identity versus retro ...[more]
