Abstract
Long interspersed elements 1 (LINE-1 or L1) are currently the only active form of autonomous retrotransposons that exist in the human genome. The 6 kb L1 element encodes its own proteins to mediate retrotransposition without the aid of components from other retrotransposons.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
