Impact of non-LTR retrotransposons in the differentiation and evolution of anatomically modern humans

Abstract Background Transposable elements are biologically important components of eukaryote genomes. In particular, non-LTR retrotransposons (N-LTRrs) played a key role in shaping the human genome throughout evolution. In this study, we compared retrotransposon insertions differentially present in...
