Transposable elements impact the human regulatory landscape through cell type specific epigenomic associations
2024-08-07
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences able to create copies of themselves within the genome. Despite their limited expression due to silencing, TEs still manage to impact the host genome. For instance, some TEs have been shown to act as cis-regulatory elements and be co-opted in the human genome. This highlights that the contributions of TEs to the host might come from their relationship with the epigenome...
