Revisiting the evolution of mouse LINE-1 in the genomic era
3 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: LINE-1 (L1) is the dominant category of transposable elements in placental mammals. L1 has significantly affected the size and structure of all mammalian genomes and understanding the nature of the interactions between L1 and its mammalian host remains a question of crucial importance in comparative genomics. For this reason, much attention has been dedicated to the evolution of L1. Among the most...
