Current opinion in genetics & development, 1999•ElsevierThe bulk of the human genome is ultimately derived from transposable elements.
Observations in the past year lead to some new and surprising ideas on functions and
consequences of these elements and their remnants in our genome. The many new
examples of human genes derived from single transposon insertions highlight the large
contribution of selfish DNA to genomic evolution.
