Transposable element derived DNaseI-hypersensitive sites in the human genome

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant genomic sequences that have been found to contribute to genome evolution in unexpected ways. Here, we characterize the evolutionary and functional characteristics of TE-derived human genome re...
