Structural features of somatic and germline retrotransposition events in humans

Structural features of somatic and germline retrotransposition events in humans

Abstract Background Transposons are DNA sequences able to move or copy themselves to other genomic locations leading to insertional mutagenesis. Although transposon-derived sequences account for half of the human genome, most elements are no longer transposition competent. Moreover, transposons are...
