Retrotransposon life cycle and its impacts on cellular responses
13 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 45% of the human genome is comprised of transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile genetic elements. However, their biological function remains largely unknown. Among them, retrotransposons are particularly abundant, and some of the copies are still capable of mobilization within the genome through RNA intermediates. This review focuses on the life cycle of human retrotransposons and...
