Abstract excerpt
LINE-1 (L1) is a family of highly repeated DNA sequences interspersed throughout the mammalian genome. Individual L1 elements are thought to be generated by a transposition mechanism involving reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate followed by insertion into a new genomic site. In mice, thr...
