Contribution of mobile elements to the uniqueness of human genome with more than 15,000 human-specific insertions

2016-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Mobile elements (MEs) collectively constituted to at least 51% of the human genome. Due to their past incremental accumulation and ongoing DNA transposition of members from certain subfamilies, MEs serve as a significant source for both inter- and intra-species genetic diversity during primate and human evolution. Since MEs can exert direct impact on gene function via a plethora of mechanism, it is believed that t...
