Locus-specific hypomethylation of the mouse IAP retrotransposon is associated with transcription factor-binding sites
Abstract Background Intracisternal A particle (IAP) is one of the most transpositionally active retrotransposons in the mouse genome, but its expression varies between cell types. This variation is believed to arise from differences in the epigenetic state (e.g., DNA methylation) of the 5′ long term...
