Retrotransposons, reverse transcriptase and the genesis of new genetic information.

Gene - 15 Dec 2009

Sciamanna Ilaria, Vitullo Patrizia, Curatolo Angela, Spadafora Corrado

Abstract excerpt

Spermatozoa of virtually all species can take up exogenous DNA or RNA molecules and internalize them into nuclei. A sperm endogenous reverse transcriptase activity can reverse-transcribe the internalized molecules in cDNA copies: exogenous RNA is reverse-transcribed in a one-step reaction, wherea...
