Abstract excerpt
We have exploited the repetitive nature of transposable elements of the human genome to generate synthetic circuits. Transposable elements such as LINE-1 and Alu have successfully replicated in mammalian genomes throughout evolution to reach a copy number ranging from thousands to more than a million. Targeting these repetitive elements with programmable DNA nucleases such as CRISPR-Cas9 rapidly induce extremely h...
