Horizontal transfer of BovB and L1 retrotransposons in eukaryotes

Horizontal transfer of BovB and L1 retrotransposons in eukaryotes

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences, colloquially known as jumping genes because of their ability to replicate to new genomic locations. TEs can jump between organisms or species when given a vector of transfer, such as a tick or virus, in a process known as hori...
