LINE retrotransposition and host DNA repair machinery
Long interspersed elements (LINEs), or non-long-terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, are mobile genetic elements that exist in the genomic DNA of most eukaryotes, comprising a considerable portion of the host chromosomes. LINEs constitute endogenous mutagens that cause insertional mutations in ho...
