Identification and characterization of retro-DNAs, a new type of retrotransposons originated from DNA transposons, in primate genomes
2020-03-20
Abstract excerpt
Mobile elements (MEs) can be divided into two major classes based on their transposition mechanisms as retrotransposons and DNA transposons. DNA transposons move in the genomes directly in the form of DNA in a cut-and-paste style, while retrotransposons utilize an RNA-intermediate to transpose in a “copy-and-paste” fashion. In addition to the t arget s ite d uplications (TSDs), a hallmark of transposition share...
