The Role of Retrotransposons in Gene Family Expansions: Insights from the Mouse \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Gene Family [PDF]
Background: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial.

Tyrosine Recombinase Retrotransposons and Transposons
ABSTRACT Retrotransposons carrying tyrosine recombinases (YR) are widespread in eukaryotes. The first described tyrosine recombinase mobile element, DIRS1, is a retroelement from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum . The YR elements are bordered by terminal repeats related to their replication via free

Links between human LINE-1 retrotransposons and hepatitis virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 80% of liver cancers, the third most frequent cause of cancer mortality. The most prevalent risk factors for HCC are infections by hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Findings suggest that hepatitis

Viral Hybrid Vectors for Somatic Integration - Are They the Better Solution? [PDF]
The turbulent history of clinical trials in viral gene therapy has taught us important lessons about vector design and safety issues. Much effort was spent on analyzing genotoxicity after somatic integration of therapeutic DNA into the host genome. Based

A new look at the LTR retrotransposon content of the chicken genome
BackgroundLTR retrotransposons contribute approximately 10 % of the mammalian genome, but it has been previously reported that there is a deficit of these elements in the chicken relative to both mammals and other birds.
