• MITE-Hunter: a program for discovering miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements from genomic sequences (2010, methodology): “From the BLASTN results the exemplars were grouped into 446 families based on the 80-80-80 rule (5).”
• The Amborella Genome and the Evolution of Flowering Plants (2013, background): “Wicker et al. ( 71 ) established the convention of separating LTR retrotransposons exhibiting more than 80% divergence in their terminal repeats into distinct families, but nearly 10% of individual Amborella LTR elements show a greater degree of divergence between their terminal repeats.”
• Transposable elements and the evolution of regulatory networks (2008, background): “TEs use different replicative strategies, which involve either RNA intermediates (class 1 or retrotransposons) or DNA intermediates (class 2 or DNA transposons”
• A reference genome for common bean and genome-wide analysis of dual domestications (2014, methodology): “The 2668 complete LTR retrotransposons were grouped into 165 families including 65 Ty1-copia, 78 Ty3-gypsy and 22 unclassified families according to the described criteria (Wicker et al. 2007).”
• Epigenetic silencing of transposable elements: a trade-off between reduced transposition and deleterious effects on neighboring gene expression. (2009, background): “Transposable elements (TEs) have been found in almost every eukaryotic genome surveyed to date (Wicker et al. 2007).”
