Significados de transpose elements en inglés

We examined whether there is less selection against exonization of transposed elements in duplicated genes than in single-copy genes.

Background: Transposed elements (TEs) have a substantial impact on mammalian evolution and are involved in numerous genetic diseases.

Results: Genome-wide analysis of exonization of transposed elements revealed a higher rate of exonization within duplicated genes relative to single-copy genes.
