Computational studies of the genome dynamics of mammalian transposable elements and their relationships to genes
Sequences derived from transposable elements (TEs) comprise nearly 40 - 50% of the genomic DNA of most mammalian species, including mouse and human. However, what impact they may exert on their hosts is an intriguing question. Originally considered as merely genomic parasites or “selfish DNA”, these...
