Detection of subclonal L1 transductions in colorectal cancer by long-distance inverse-PCR and Nanopore sequencing

Abstract Long interspersed nuclear elements-1 (L1s) are a large family of retrotransposons. Retrotransposons are repetitive sequences that are capable of autonomous mobility via a copy-and-paste mechanism. In most copy events, only the L1 sequence is inserted, however, they can also mobilize the fla...
