Abstract excerpt
Interspersed repetitive sequences are major components of eukaryotic genomes. Repetitive elements comprise about 50% of the mammalian genome. They interact with the whole genome and influence its evolution. Repetitive elements may serve as recombination hot spots or acquire specific cellular functions such as RNA transcription control or become part of protein coding regions. The latter is a subject of presented...
