LINE-1 retrotransposition impacts the genome of human pre-implantation embryos and extraembryonic tissues
2019-01-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Long Interspersed Element 1 (LINE-1/L1) is an abundant retrotransposon that has greatly impacted human genome evolution. LINE-1s are responsible for the generation of millions of insertions in the current human population. The characterization of sporadic cases of mosaic individuals carrying pathogenic L1-insertions, suggest that heritable insertions occurs during early embryogenesis. However, t...
