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 facilitate the transposition and amplification of these sequences by an RNA-intermediate mechanism. We have discovered...
