Retrotransposons and Complex Diseases: Is it Time for a Retrotransposon-Based âÂÂOmicsâ Profiling approach to Elucidate the Origins of Pathogenesis?

Abstract

Volume 5 • Issue 2 • 1000223 Adv Tech Biol Med, an open access journal ISSN: 2379-1764 When Human Genome Project was completed, some unthinkable issues came to the fore. In contrast to the anticipations, the genic counterpart made up a mere ~2% of the genome. More surprisingly, it became evident the extent of the repetitive DNA, and we now know that it consists the most part of human genome [1,2].
