Although a large number of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon families exist in the higher eukaryotic genomes, the identification of families that show high insertion polymorphism has been challenging. Here, we performed an efficient screening of these retrotransposon families using an Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing platform with comprehensive LTR library construction based on the primer binding site (PBS), which is located adjacent to the 5′ LTR and has a motif that is universal and conserved among LTR retrotransposon families. The paired-end sequencing library of the fragments containing a large number of LTR sequences and their insertion sites was sequenced for seven strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) cultivars and one diploid wild species (Fragaria vesca L.). Among them, we screened 24 families with a “unique” insertion site that appeared only in one cultivar and not in any others, assuming that this type of insertion should have occurred quite recently. Finally, we confirmed experimentally the selected LTR families showed high insertion polymorphisms among closely related cultivars. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MondenYuki en-aut-sei=Monden en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiNobuyuki en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Nobuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaguchiKentaro en-aut-sei=Yamaguchi en-aut-mei=Kentaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkeoKazuho en-aut-sei=Ikeo en-aut-mei=Kazuho kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakazawaYoshiko en-aut-sei=Nakazawa en-aut-mei=Yoshiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=WakiTakamitsu en-aut-sei=Waki en-aut-mei=Takamitsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirashimaKeita en-aut-sei=Hirashima en-aut-mei=Keita kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=UchimuraYosuke en-aut-sei=Uchimura en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaharaMakoto en-aut-sei=Tahara en-aut-mei=Makoto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Center for Information Biology, National Institute of Genetics Research Organization of Information and Systems affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Center for Information Biology, National Institute of Genetics Research Organization of Information and Systems affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Biotechology Division, Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Biotechology Division, Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Research Plan and Strategy, Fukuoka Agricultural Research Center affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Research Plan and Strategy, Fukuoka Agricultural Research Center affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University en-keyword=retrotransposon kn-keyword=retrotransposon en-keyword=primer binding site kn-keyword=primer binding site en-keyword=high-throughput sequencing kn-keyword=high-throughput sequencing en-keyword=polymorphism kn-keyword=polymorphism en-keyword=molecular markers kn-keyword=molecular markers END
