LTR-retrotransposon transcriptome modulation in response to endotoxin-induced stress in PBMCs
5 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) and Mammalian apparent LTR-retrotransposons (MaLRs) represent the 8% of our genome and are distributed among our 46 chromosomes. These LTR-retrotransposons are thought to be essentially silent except in cancer, autoimmunity and placental development. Their Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs) constitute putative promoter or polyA regulatory sequences. In this study, we...
