LINES between species: Evolutionary dynamics of LINE-1 retrotransposons across the eukaryotic tree of life

2016-04-29

Abstract excerpt

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons are dynamic elements. They have the potential to cause great genomic change due to their ability to ‘jump’ around the genome and amplify themselves, resulting in the duplication and rearrangement of regulatory DNA. Active L1, in particular, are often thought of as tightly constrained, homologous and ubiquitous elements with well-characterised domain organisation. For the past 30 years,...
