Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In humans, copies of the Long Interspersed Nuclear Element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon comprise 21% of the reference genome, and have been shown to modulate expression and produce novel splice isoforms of transcripts from genes that span or neighbor the LINE-1 insertion site. RESULTS: In this work, newly released pilot data from the 1000 Genomes Project is analyzed to detect previously unreported full...
