LINE-1 retrotransposition in human somatic cells (SOMATIC_MOSAICISM)
Start date: Jun 12, 2013, End date: Jun 11, 2015,
The human genome is largely composed of non-coding DNA, only 3-5% codes for exons. The majority of the non-coding DNA is however fundamental for the correct functioning and regulation of the genome. Transposable elements (TEs) like LINEs generated up to 50% of the human genome during evolution. They can mobilize, causing mutations but also conferring genomic plasticity. The generation of new inser ...
