DEFINITION

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 (RTL) similares a la de los retrovirus están contenidas en los retrotransposones y en elementos semejantes a los retrovirus. Los retroposones, como son los elementos nucleotídicos muy entremezclados y los elementos nucleotídicos poco entremezclados no contienen RTL.
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.
