|description=''Diaspora'' is a multicopy envelope-less LTR retroelement that comprises at least 0.5% of the ''Glycine max'' genome ([[Literature:85493|Laten 1998]]; [[Literature:84596|Yano et al. 2005]]). ''Diaspora'' belongs to ''Athila'' clade, a lineage of possible retroviruses in plants ([[Literature:83585|Wright and Voytas 2002]]), which is sibling of ''Tat'' clade, a lineage of plant LTR retrotransposons. Both lineages provide evidence of a shared ancestral lineage originally described as Class A by Wright and Voytas ([[Literature:83586|1998]]). The genomic structure of ''Diaspora'' is not represented in current databases but a full-length consensus sequence of ''Diaspora'' was generated from short overlapping sequences ([[Literature:84596|Yano et al. 2005]]).We have considered partially this information to classify the full-lenght ''Diaspora'' consensus, which is 11.7 Kb in size including LTRs of 2.5 Kb. The internal region of this element displays a Primer Binding Site (PBS) complementary to a tRNA<sup>Asp</sup>, a single ORF that encodes a gag-pol polyprotein, and, as other LTR retroelements, a Polypurine Tract (PPT) adjacent to the 3´LTR.
