Modes of Retrotransposition of Long Interspersed Element-1 by Environmental Factors
Approximately 42% of the human genome is composed of endogenous retroelements, and the major retroelement component, long interspersed element-1 (L1), comprises ∼17% of the total genome. A single human cell has more than 5 × 105 copies of L1, 80∼100 copies of which are competent for retrotranspositi...
