Recognizing the SINEs of Infection: Regulation of Retrotransposon Expression and Modulation of Host Cell Processes
Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are a family of retrotransposons evolutionarily derived from cellular RNA polymerase III transcripts. Over evolutionary time, SINEs have expanded throughout the human genome and today comprise ~11% of total chromosomal DNA. While generally transcriptionally silent...
