Mammalian genome evolution as a result of epigenetic regulation of transposable elements
Transposable elements (TEs) make up a large proportion of mammalian genomes and are a strong evolutionary force capable of rewiring regulatory networks and causing genome rearrangements. Additionally, there are many eukaryotic epigenetic defense mechanisms able to transcriptionally silence TEs. Furt...
