Retrotransposon-Induced Heterochromatin Spreading in the Mouse Revealed by Insertional Polymorphisms
The “arms race” relationship between transposable elements (TEs) and their host has promoted a series of epigenetic silencing mechanisms directed against TEs. Retrotransposons, a class of TEs, are often located in repressed regions and are thought to induce heterochromatin formation and spreading. H...
