Abstract excerpt
LINE1 and Alu retroelements occupy approximately 17 and 13% of the human genome, respectively. They include the evolutionarily youngest element groups Ta-L1, AluYa5, and AluYb8, many inserts of which are polymorphous in the Homo sapiens population. Despite the data on the ability of L1 and Alu elements to cause various modifications of the genome, the effects of these retroelements on gene expression have yet not...
