D016681	Genome, Fungal	The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a fungus.	Fungal Genome,Fungal Genomes,Genomes, Fungal
D018626	Retroelements	Elements that are transcribed into RNA, reverse-transcribed into DNA and then inserted into a new site in the genome. Long terminal repeats (LTRs) similar to those from retroviruses are contained in retrotransposons and retrovirus-like elements. Retroposons, such as LONG INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS and SHORT INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS do not contain LTRs.
