Landscape and evolutionary dynamics of terminal repeat retrotransposons in miniature in plant genomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The C2H2 zinc finger (C2H2-ZF) is the most numerous protein domain in many metazoans, but is not as frequent or diverse in other eukaryotes. The biochemical and evolutionary mechanisms that underlie the diversity of this DNA-binding domain exclusively in metazoans are, however, mostly unknown. RESULTS:Here,...
