Retrocopy contributions to the evolution of the human genome
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Evolution via point mutations is a relatively slow process and is unlikely to completely explain the differences between primates and other mammals. By contrast, 45% of the human genome is composed of retroposed elements, many of whi...
