Gene function and expression level influence the insertion/fixation dynamics of distinct transposon families in mammalian introns

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) represent more than 45% of the human and mouse genomes. Both parasitic and mutualistic features have been shown to apply to the host-TE relationship but a comprehensive scenario of the forces driving TE fixation within mammalian genes is still missing. RESULTS...
