TREP, the TRansposable Elements Platform

Superfamily unknown                   RLX

Full classification: Retrotransposon, LTR, unknown

unknown elements are Class 1 transposons.

They are non-autonomous LTR retrotransposons. Can not be assigned to a superfamily because it conatins no coding sequence. The terminal repeats usually end in TG (5' end) and CA (3' end).
Upon insertion, they create a 5 bp Target site duplication (TSD).
