Transposable element insertions in long intergenic non-coding RNA genes

Transposable element insertions in long intergenic non-coding RNA genes

Transposable elements (TE) are abundant in mammalian genomes and appear to have contributed to the evolution of their hosts by providing novel regulatory or coding sequences. We analyzed different regions of long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) genes in human and mouse genomes to systematically...
