Abstract excerpt

Short interspersed repetitive DNA sequences (SINEs) are the major component of dispersed repetitive DNA in all mammalian genomes. Most SINEs contain an intragenic RNA polymerase III promoter that initiates transcription at the 5' end of the repeated DNA sequence and which has been proposed to fac...
