unknown elements are Class 1 transposons.
They are are clearly retroelements. They have either a reverse transcriptase OR a poly-A tail. Upon insertion, they create a variable bp Target site duplication (TSD).
RT: Reverse transcriptase
Function: Reverse transcription of mRNA to DNA, core motif is relatively variable (FY)(IAMV)DD
Protein motifs: YVDD
polyA: Poly-A tail
Function: Result of reverse transcription of mRNA. Sometimes, it is not a poly-A (weird stuff)
Protein motifs:
