Potential for genomic instability associated with retrotranspositionally-incompetent L1 loci

Expression of the L1 retrotransposon can damage the genome through insertional mutagenesis and the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The majority of L1 loci in the human genome are 5′-truncated and therefore incapable of retrotransposition. While thousands of full-length L1 loci remain,...
