Epigenetic histone modifications of human transposable elements: genome defense versus exaptation
BACKGROUND: Transposition is disruptive in nature and, thus, it is imperative for host genomes to evolve mechanisms that suppress the activity of transposable elements (TEs). At the same time, transposition also provides diverse sequences that can be exapted by host genomes as functional elements. T...
