Loss of LINE-1 activity in the megabats.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Cantrell Michael A, Scott LuAnn, Brown Celeste J, Martinez Armando R, Wichman Holly A

Abstract excerpt

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons are the most abundant type of mammalian retroelement. They have profound effects on genome plasticity and have been proposed to fulfill essential host functions, yet it remains unclear where they lie on the spectrum from parasitism to mutualism. Their ubiquity makes it difficult to determine the extent of their effects on genome evolution and gene expression because of the relative...
