This study shows LINE-1 retrotransposition occurs in human pre-implantation embryos and extraembryonic tissues, impacting gene expression and potentially contributing to genomic variation.

This study identifies human-specific non-LTR retrotransposon insertions and shows their association with gene expression changes and phenotypic evolution in humans.

The paper analyzes transposable element activity in mammals to test the Cold Genome hypothesis, finding correlations between speciation rates and genome 'hot'/'cold' classifications.
