SINE jumping contributes to large-scale polymorphisms in the pig genomes

Abstract Background Molecular markers based on retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) have been developed and are widely used in plants and animals. Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) exert wide impacts on gene activity and even on phenotypes. However, SINE RIP profiles in livestock...
