Transposable Elements Cross Kingdom Boundaries and Contribute to Inflammation and Ageing: Somatic Acquisition of Foreign Transposable Elements as a Catalyst of Genome Instability, Epigenetic Dysregulation, Inflammation, Senescence, and Ageing
{{output}}
The de-repression of transposable elements (TEs) in mammalian genomes is thought to contribute to genome instability, inflammation, and ageing, yet is viewed as a cell-autonomous event. In contrast to mammalian cells, prokaryotes constantly exchange genetic ma... ...
