|description=''CoDi4.3'' is a ''Ty1/Copia'' LTR retrotransposon described in the genome of the marine pinnate diatom ''Phaeodactylum tricornutum'' ([[Literature:100685|Maumus ''et al.'' 2009]]; [[Literature:86909|Bowler ''et al.'' 2008]]). This element belongs to ''CoDi-I'' clade ([[Literature:100685|Maumus ''et al.'' 2009]]) within Branch 1 of the ''Ty1/Copia'' family ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]]). Interestingly, CoDi-I represents the first described set of ''Ty1/Copia'' elements carrying a putative chromodomain at the C-terminus of the pol-INT domain ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]]) similarly to ''Ty3/Gypsy'' chromoviruses ([[Literature:47259|Marin and Lloréns 2000]]), which use this feature for chromatin integration ([[Literature:89590|Gao ''et al.'' 2008]]).

The genome of ''CoDi4.3'' is 6720 bp in size including LTRs of 162 bp that flank an internal coding region. The genome encodes for a long Open Reading Frame (ORF), interrupted by one stop codon, displaying the ''gag'' and ''pol'' typical structure of the ''Ty1/Copia'' LTR retrotransposons (gag, protease, integrase, reverse transcriptase and ribonuclease H, for more details, see [[Literature:100685|Maumus ''et al.'' 2009]]).
