Human mobile genetic elements: structure, distribution and functional role

TSitologiia i genetika 2008, v 42, Issue 6, 69-81

Data concerning human mobile genetic elements which make up 45 % of the genome are reviewed. Much attention is focused on their role in genome functioning, such as recombination, regulation of gene expression and neogenes besides classification and distribution.

Key words: Mobile elements, DNA transposons, retroelements, human genome, genome function
