Transposable element insertions have strongly affected human evolution.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Nov 2010

Britten Roy J

Abstract excerpt

Comparison of a full collection of the transposable element (TE) sequences of vertebrates with genome sequences shows that the human genome makes 655 perfect full-length matches. The cause is that the human genome contains many active TEs that have caused TE inserts in relatively recent times. These TE inserts in the human genome are several types of young Alus (AluYa5, AluYb8, AluYc1, etc.). Work in many...
