Recent Non-LTR Retrotransposon Activity Predicts Cancer Prevalence in Mammals
2025-09-04
Abstract excerpt
Non-long terminal repeat retrotransposons (nLTRs), including long and short interspersed nuclear elements (L1 and SINEs), are the most abundant and active mobile elements in mammals. NLTRs play critical mutagenic and regulatory roles during oncogenesis in humans and model species. However, it is not known whether recent nLTR activity in the genome is related to the lifetime cancer risk of a species beyond humans a...
