TLDR
It is shown that two human L1 elements (L1.2 and LRE2) can actively retrotranspose in cultured mammalian cells, suggesting a potential role for L1-based vectors in random insertional mutagenesis.

Cytosine methylation and the ecology of intragenomic parasites

TL;DR: It has become increasingly difficult to hold that reversible promoter methylation is commonly involved in developmental gene control; instead, suppression of parasitic sequence elements appears to be the primary function of cytosine methylation, with crucial secondary roles in allele-specific gene expression as seen in X inactivation and genomic imprinting.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of retrotransposons on human genome evolution.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on non-long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, and discusses the many ways that they affect the human genome: from generating insertion mutations and genomic instability to altering gene expression and contributing to genetic innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alu repeats and human genomic diversity

TL;DR: During the past 65 million years, Alu elements have propagated to more than one million copies in primate genomes, which has resulted in the generation of a series of Alu subfamilies of different ages.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

TL;DR: A new approach to rapid sequence comparison, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), directly approximates alignments that optimize a measure of local similarity, the maximal segment pair (MSP) score.

Stable replication of plasmids derived from Epstein-Barr virus in various mammalian cells

TL;DR: It is shown that circular DNAs containing oriP, the EBNA-1 gene and a selectable marker replicate autonomously in cells derived from at at least four developmental lineages and from at least three species.

Origin and evolution of retroelements based upon their reverse transcriptase sequences.

TL;DR: The sequence similarity of these RNA polymerases to RT suggests that these two enzymes evolved from a common ancestor, and thus RNA polymerase can be used as an outgroup to root the RT tree.
