Retrotransposons,a type of DNA fragment that can mobilize itself on genome,can generate genetic variations and develop for molecular markers based on the insertion polymorphism.Zinc finger proteins(ZNFs)are among the ...
Retrotransposons are highly abundant mobile genetic elements in mammalian genomes and can interfere with many genomic processes,particularly the transcription of genes.A study by Xiong et al.reveals that segments of n...
