Detection of the LINE-1 retrotransposon RNA-binding protein ORF1p in different anatomical regions of the human brain

Abstract Background Recent reports indicate that retrotransposons – a type of mobile DNA – can contribute to neuronal genetic diversity in mammals. Retrotransposons are genetic elements that mobilize via an RNA intermediate by a “copy-and-paste” mechanism termed retrotransposition. Long Interspersed...
