Atlas of transcriptionally active transposable elements in human adult tissues

2019-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Approximately half of the human genome consists of mobile repetitive DNA sequences known as transposable elements (TEs). They are usually silenced by epigenetic mechanisms, but a few are known to escape silencing at embryonic stages, affecting early human development by regulating nearby protein-coding genes. To investigate transcriptional activity in human adult tissues we systematically investigate the expressio...
