L1 Retrotransposons Shape the Mammalian Genome
Abstract
What are all of those retrotransposons doing buzzing about in our genome? According to Kazazian, in his Perspective this week, these mobile pieces of DNA are busy reshaping our genome, making it more diverse and enabling us to survive and thrive through the vagaries of evolution. And just how do they do this?...zip to page 1152 to find out.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
