Application of iPBS in high-throughput sequencing for thedevelopment of retro…

Retrotransposons are major components of higher plant genomes, and long terminal repeat (LTR) retro-transposons are especially predominant. Thus, numerous LTR retrotransposon families with high copynumbers exist in most plant genomes. As the integrated copies of these retrotransposons are geneticallyinherited, their insertion polymorphisms among crop cultivars have been used as functional molec…
