The necessary junk: new functions for transposable elements.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Oct 2007

Muotri Alysson R, Marchetto Maria C N, Coufal Nicole G, Gage Fred H

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements have been shaping the genome throughout evolution, contributing to the creation of new genes and sophisticated regulatory network systems. Today, most of genomes (animals and plants) allow the expression and accommodate transposition of a few transposon families. The potential genetic impact of this small fraction of mobile elements should not be underestimated. Although new insertions that...
