Re-evaluating inheritance in genome evolution: widespread transfer of LINEs between species

2017-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences, colloquially known as ‘jumping genes’ because of their ability to replicate to new genomic locations. Given a vector of transfer (e.g. tick or virus), TEs can jump further: between organisms or species in a process known as horizontal transfer (HT). Here we propose that LINE-1 (L1) and Bovine-B (BovB), the two most abundant TE families in mammals, were initiall...
