Chromosomal inversions between human and chimpanzee lineages caused by retrotransposons.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2008

Lee Jungnam, Han Kyudong, Meyer Thomas J, Kim Heui-Soo, Batzer Mark A

Abstract excerpt

The long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) and Alu elements are the most abundant mobile elements comprising 21% and 11% of the human genome, respectively. Since the divergence of human and chimpanzee lineages, these elements have vigorously created chromosomal rearrangements causing genomic difference between humans and chimpanzees by either increasing or decreasing the size of genome. Here, we report an...
