Abstract excerpt
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) constitute a substantial portion of mammalian genomes, and their retrotransposition activity helped to drive genetic variation, yet their expression is tightly regulated to prevent unchecked amplification. We generated a series of mouse mutants and embryonic stem (ES) cell lines carrying "deletable" and "rescuable" alleles of the lysine-specific demethylase LSD1/KDM1A. In the...
