An evolutionary arms race between KRAB zinc finger genes 91/93 and SVA/L1 retrotransposons

An evolutionary arms race between KRAB zinc finger genes 91/93 and SVA/L1 retrotransposons

Throughout evolution, primate genomes have been modified by waves of retrotransposon insertions1,2,3. For each wave, the host eventually finds a way to repress retrotransposon transcription and prevent further insertions. In mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), transcriptional silencing of retrotrans...
