Machine learning reveals bilateral distribution of somatic L1 insertions in human neurons and glia
2019-06-06
Abstract excerpt
Active retrotransposons in the human genome (L1, Alu and SVA elements) can create genomic mobile element insertions (MEIs) in both germline and somatic tissue 1 . Specific somatic MEIs have been detected at high levels in human cancers 2 , and at lower to medium levels in human brains 3 . Dysregulation of somatic retrotransposition in the human brain has been hypothesized to contribute to neuropsychiatric dise...
