Abstract

The completion of the human genome reference sequence ushered in a new era for the study and discovery of human transposable elements. It now is undeniable that transposable elements, historically dismissed as junk DNA, have had an instrumental role in sculpting the structure and function of our genomes. In particular, long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) and short interspersed elements (SINEs) continue to affect our genome, and their movement can lead to sporadic cases of disease. Here, we briefly review the types of transposable elements present in the human genome and their mechanisms of mobility. We next highlight how advances in DNA sequencing and genomic technologies have enabled the discovery of novel retrotransposons in individual genomes. Finally, we discuss how L1-mediated retrotransposition events impact human genomes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • New retrotransposon insertions probably account for most smaller structural mutation events, with Alu insertions at about 0.05 per generation and L1 insertions at about 0.01-0.05 per generation.

    “New retrotransposon insertions probably account for the majority of smaller events, with short (300 basepairs) Alu repeat insertions occurring at a rate of 0.05 per generation (Cordaux and Batzer, 2009) and longer (1000–9000 bp) L1 insertions occurring at a rate of 0.01–0.05. per generation (Beck et al., 2011).”

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.
