The contribution of retrotransposons to the transcriptomes of murine somatic cells
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposons comprise approximately 40% of the mouse genome. Once thought to be useless ~junk~ DNA, there is growing evidence that retrotransposons play crucial roles in genome evolution and gene regulation, and contribute to the transcriptome. Several studies have found functional retrotransposon transcripts in the germline and during early development, but less is known about retrotransposon transcription in...
