Retrotransposition mechanisms.
Recent developments in the area of the transposition mechanisms used by retrotransposons and related retroviral pathways are discussed. In particular, advances in the areas of retrotransposon gene expression, virus-like particle assembly, reverse transcription, and integration are reviewed.
