Tracking LINE1 retrotransposition in the germline [Genetics]

Nearly half of the mammalian genome is occupied by repetitive transposon elements, including long-interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs), short-interspersed nuclear elements, and long terminal repeat retrotransposons. The ability of these transposable elements to propagate and insert randomly throughout the genome plays an important role in genome evolution (1). However, as transposon-mediated...
