The Impact of Transposable Elements in Genome Evolution and Genetic Instability and Their Implications in Various Diseases
Approximately 45% of the human genome is comprised of transposable elements (TEs). Results from the Human Genome Project have emphasized the biological importance of TEs. Many studies have revealed that TEs are not simply "junk" DNA, but rather, they play various roles in processes, includ...
