TREP, the TRansposable Elements Platform

Superfamily unknown                   RXX

Full classification: Retrotransposon, unknown, unknown

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).

Sequence domains

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)
