|description=TSI-9 is one of the several transposable elements described in the genome of the foxtail millet (''Setaria italica'' ssp.) ([[Literature:100619|Kawase ''et al.'' 2005]]). TSI-9 belongs to the SIRE clade of ''Ty1/Copia'' plant LTR retrotransposons and potential retroviruses ([[Literature:100589|Fauquet ''et al.'' 2005]]). This clade is evolutionarily related to another clade of plant ''Ty1/Copia'' LTR retrotransposons called ''Oryco'' ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]]). SIRE clade gives the name to a genus within the current ICTV classification of the ''Ty1/Copia'' into three genera – Pseudovirus, Hemivirus and Sirevirus ([[Literature:100591|Boeke ''et al''. 2005]]).

The full-lenght genome of TSI-9 is 9331 bp long and includes two 1238-bps LTRs flanking an internal coding region that contains three Open Reading Frames (ORFs). The internal region displays the characteristic ''gag'' and ''pol'' domains ([[Literature:100619|Kawase ''et al.'' 2005]]) but does not show any ''env''-like domain. In comparison to other ''Ty1/Copia'' elements, a taxonomically relevant feature specific of ''Sire''-like elements is their extremely large gag C-terminus consistent with the NC domain, which may display two or three CCHC arrays ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]])
