title: Biochemical analysis of long terminal repeat retrotransposons.
abstract: A brief survey of the retrotransposition cycle is given with emphasis on intermediary steps and their identification by biochemical analysis. References include some older key publications that may not be easily accessible via electronic databases. Methods for enrichment of viruslike particles from plant material and from yeast are described.
