Co-expression of distinct L1 retrotransposon coiled coils can lead to their entanglement
Abstract L1 (LINE1) non-LTR retrotransposons are ubiquitous genomic parasites and the dominant transposable element in humans having generated about 40% of their genomic DNA during their ~ 100 million years (Myr) of activity in primates. L1 replicates in germ line cells and early embryos, causing ge...
