Hominid retrotransposons as a modulator of genomic function

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements constitute 45% of the human genome contributing to our evolution, creating new exons, structural variation and influencing the regulation of transcription. SINE-VNTR-Alus (SVAs) are a hominid specific retrotransposon that are still actively retrotransposing in the human genome today. The structure and sequence of SVAs, in particular their variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) domain, suggest t...
