Transposable elements and gene expression during the evolution of amniotes
2018-03-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Transposable elements (TEs) are primarily responsible for the changes in genome sequences that occur over time within and between species. TEs themselves evolve, with clade specific LTR/ERV, LINEs and SINEs responsible for the bulk of species specific genomic features. Because TEs can contain regulatory motifs, they can be exapted as regulators of gene expression. While TE insertions can provi...
