Nuku, a family of primate retrogenes derived from <i>KU70</i>

2020-12-02

Abstract excerpt

The ubiquitous DNA repair protein, Ku70p, has undergone extensive copy number expansion during primate evolution. Gene duplications of KU70 have the hallmark of long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) mediated retrotransposition with evidence of target-site duplications, the poly-A tails, and the absence of introns. Evolutionary analysis of this expanded family of KU70 -derived “ NUKU ” retrogenes reveals that the...
