The identification of retro-DNAs in primate genomes as DNA transposons mobilizing via retrotransposition
2024-05-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Mobile elements (MEs) constitute a major portion of the genome in primates and other higher eukaryotes, and they play important role in genome evolution and gene function. MEs can be divided into two fundamentally different classes: DNA transposons which transpose in the genome in a “cut-and-paste” style, and retrotransposons which propagate in a “copy-and-paste” fashion via a process involvi...
