Distinct groups of repetitive families preserved in mammals correspond to different periods of regulatory innovations in vertebrates
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mammalian genomes are repositories of repetitive DNA sequences derived from transposable elements (TEs). Typically, TEs generate multiple, mostly inactive copies of themselves, commonly known as repetitive families or families of rep...
