Chromosomal inversions between human and chimpanzee lineages caused by retrotransposons.

Chromosomal inversions between human and chimpanzee lineages caused by retrotransposons.

The long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) and Alu elements are the most abundant mobile elements comprising 21% and 11% of the human genome, respectively. Since the divergence of human and chimpanzee lineages, these elements have vigorously created chromosomal rearrangements causing genomic dif...
