Riding the Wave: The SINE-Specific V Highly-Conserved Domain Spread into Mammalian Genomes Exploiting the Replication Burst of the MER6 DNA Transposon

Riding the Wave: The SINE-Specific V Highly-Conserved Domain Spread into Mammalian Genomes Exploiting the Replication Burst of the MER6 DNA Transposon

Transposable elements are widely distributed within genomes where they may significantly impact their evolution and cell functions. Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are non-autonomous, fast-evolving elements, but some of them carry a highly conserved domain (HCD), whose sequence remained substant...
