Cyagen Newsletter February 2016 Transposons, and why you should love them The vast majority of biomedical and genetics research is focused on the function of proteins and proteins-coding genes. However, only a few percent of the human genome's three billion base pairs encodes proteins. In contrast, transposable elements (TEs) comprise greater than half of the human and mouse genomes. It has been suggested that the human genome contains 3-4 million individual TE integrants, which means that they outnumber protein-coding genes by 100-fold. TEs are poorly understood and essentially ignored by many researchers, yet they represent an important aspect of biology, and have the potential to be powerful research and therapeutic tools. Where did these mysterious DNA elements come from? Why are they so abundant in our genomes? How are TEs regulated? And, what can they do?
