Here , we report that certain RNA template structures and G - rich sequences , ahead of diverse reverse transcriptases can be strong stimulators for slippage at slippageprone template motif sequence 3 of such ' slippagestimulatory ' structures .
Given the widespread occurrence and importance of retrotransposons , systematic studies to reveal the extent of their functional utilization of RT slippage are merited .
