Deep-Sequencing Identifies Over 10,000 Unique Genes in Cotton

TEs (transposable elements), particularly LTRs, are recognized to play a crucial role in defining basic genome organization and affecting functional gene expression. Insertion of TE or LTR fragments may also result in the formation of new transcription start sites (TSSs) in the host genome.
