Interspersed repeats and other mementos of transposable elements in mammalian genomes
AFA Smit - Current opinion in genetics & development, 1999 - Elsevier
The bulk of the human genome is ultimately derived from transposable elements. Observations
in the past year lead to some new and surprising ideas on functions and consequences …
