Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are dynamic elements present in all eukaryotic genomes. They can "jump" and amplify within the genome and promote segmental genome rearrangements on both autosomes and sex chromosomes by disruption of gene structures. The Bovine-B long interspersed nuclear element (Bov-B LINE) is among the most abundant TE-retrotransposon families in vertebrates due to horizontal transfer (HT) among...
