Multi-ancestry GWAS reveals loci linked to human variation in LINE-1- and Alu-insertion numbers
2024-09-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> LINE-1 (L1) and Alu are two families of transposable elements (TEs) occupying ∼17% and ∼11% of the human genome, respectively. Though only a small fraction of L1 copies is able to produce the machinery to mobilize autonomously, Alu and degenerate L1s can hijack their functional machinery and mobilize in trans . The expression and subsequent mobilization of L1 and Alu can exert pathological effe...
