Whole genome sequences of various primates have been released due to advanced DNA‐
sequencing technology. A combination of computational data mining and the polymerase …

The availability of several whole genome sequences makes comparative analyses possible.
In primate genomes, the priority of transposable elements (TEs) is significantly increased …

In 2005, a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) was
published by the Chimpanzee Sequencing & Analysis Consortium (CSAC). This sequence …

Mobile genetic elements within genomes have been known to drive genome evolution in
diverse ways. Since developing high-technology for whole-genome sequencing, many …

Mobile elements (MEs) can be divided into two major classes based on their transposition
mechanisms as retrotransposons and DNA transposons. DNA transposons move in the …

Mobile elements make up almost half of the human genome. Alu elements are the most
successful human mobile element family with 1.1 million Alu elements in the genome. In …

Retrotransposons are mobile genetics elements, which form almost half of our genome. Only
the L1HS subfamily of the Long Interspersed Element-1 class (LINE-1 or L1) has retained …

Retroelements play important roles in primate evolution. Specifically, human endogenous
retroviruses (HERVs) and Alu elements are primate-specific retroelements. In addition, SVA …

Afrosoricida is a 65 million years old (my) eutherian order that together with the
Tubulidentata (aardvark) and Macroscelidea (elephant shrews) form the Afroinsectiphillia, a …
