Activation of Transposable Elements in Immune Cells of Fibromyalgia Patients
18 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Advancements in nucleic acid sequencing technology combined with an unprecedented availability of metadata have revealed that 45% of the human genome constituted by transposable elements (TEs) is not only transcriptionally active but also physiologically necessary.
