Abstract excerpt
Presence of transposable elements (TEs) in the human genome has profound effects on genome function, structure and evolution. TE mobility and inter-TE recombination are the origin of a large spectrum of mutations and genome reorganization leading to diseases. From the data provided by the Human Genome Project and from information on the detection and dynamics of TEs within and between species acquired during the...
