Most non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons encoding a restriction-like endonuclease show target-specific integration into repetitive sequences such as ribosomal RNA genes and microsatellites. However, only a few target-specific lineages of non-LTR retrotransposons are distributed widely and no lineage is found across the eukaryotic kingdoms. Here we report the most widely distribu...

The topography associated with the fundamental crustal dichotomy in much of eastern Mars can be largely ascribed to a single event: the very large impact which produced the Utopia Basin. Subsequent internal and surficial processes have been unable to remove the topographic signature of this basin. In particular, endogenic processes appear to have been ineffective in contributing to the basic di...
