Expression of retrotransposons contributes to aging in <i>Drosophila</i>
2022-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements capable of self-replication and insertion into new genomic locations. Across species, the mobilization of retrotransposons in somatic cells has been suggested to contribute to the cell and tissue functional decline that occurs during aging. Retrotransposon expression generally increases with age, and de novo insertions have been observed to occur during tumori...
