L1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon diversity differs dramatically between mammals and fish.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jan 2004

Furano Anthony V, Duvernell David D, Boissinot Stephane

Abstract excerpt

L1 retrotransposons replicate (amplify) by copying (reverse transcribing) their RNA transcript into genomic DNA. The evolutionary history of L1 in mammals has been unique. In mice and humans approximately 80 million years of L1 evolution and replication produced a single evolutionary lineage of L1 elements while generating approximately 20% of the genomic mass in each species. By contrast, zebrafish contain >30...
