Differential expression of transposable elements in stem cell lineages of the preimplantation embryo
2020-09-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Approximately half of the human genome is comprised of transposable elements (TEs), which are genetic elements capable of amplifying themselves within the genome. Throughout the course of human life, TEs are expressed in germ cells, the preimplantation embryo, and the placenta but silenced elsewhere. However, the functions of TEs during embryonic development are poorly understood. Trophoblast st...
