Extracellular vesicles mediate the horizontal transfer of an active LINE-1 retrotransposon

Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) retrotransposons replicate through a copy-and-paste mechanism using an RNA intermediate. However, little is known about the physical transmission of retrotransposon RNA between cells. To examine the horizontal transfer of an active human L1 retrotransposon...
