For example, Howard Temin published the following definition: Retroposons encode RT but are devoid of long terminal repeats (LTRs), for example long interspersed elements (LINEs). Retrotransposons also feature LTRs and retroviruses , in addition, are packaged as viral particles (virions).

An endogenous retrovirus is a retrovirus without virus pathogenic effects that has been integrated into the host genome by inserting their inheritable genetic information into cells that can be passed onto the next generation like a retrotransposon. [8]
LTR retrotransposons have direct long terminal repeats that range from ~100 bp to over 5 kb in size. LTR retrotransposons are further sub-classified into the Ty1-copia-like (Pseudoviridae), Ty3-like (Metaviridae, formally referred to as Gypsy-like, a name that is being considered for retirement [4]), and BEL-Pao-like (Belpaoviridae) groups based on both their degree of sequence similarity and ...

The Eumuroida are a clade defined in 2004 by Steppan et al. to describe a group of muroid rodents (mice, rats and relatives). The clade is not defined in the standard taxonomic hierarchy, but it is between superfamily and family.
Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though the capybara can weigh up to 45 kg (99 lb). Suborder: Hystricognathi. Family: Hystricidae (Old World porcupines) Genus: Atherurus
A tuco-tuco is a neotropical rodent in the family Ctenomyidae. [1] [2] Tuco-tucos belong to the only living genus of the family Ctenomyidae, Ctenomys, but they include approximately 60 different species. The common name, "tuco-tuco", comes from the "tuc-tuc" sound they make while they dig their burrows.
