Alu: a parasite's parasite?

The technical problem of detecting the retrotransposition—amplification and genomic dispersion of sequences through an RNA intermediate—of Pol III–directed transcripts has been solved. This provides a long-sought experimental system to learn how Alu repeats amplified to a high copy number in human D...

Zusammenfassung:The technical problem of detecting the retrotransposition—amplification and genomic dispersion of sequences through an RNA intermediate—of Pol III–directed transcripts has been solved. This provides a long-sought experimental system to learn how Alu repeats amplified to a high copy number in human DNA.
