Ancestry of SINE-R.C2 a human-specific retroposon.

Human genetics - 1 May 1994

Zhu Z B, Jian B, Volanakis J E

Abstract excerpt

We have reported previously that a retroposon, containing a variable number of tandemly repeated nucleotide sequences, is present in the third intron of the human C2 gene. This element, termed SINE-R.C2, is a member of a large retroposon family derived from the endogenous retrovirus HERV-K10 and estimated to include a few thousand copies per haploid human genome. In the present study we analyzed genomic DNA from...
