Distinct retroelement classes define evolutionary breakpoints demarcating sites of evolutionary novelty

Mark S Longo, Dawn M Carone, Eric D Green, Michael J O'Neill, Rachel J O'Neill BMC Genomics 2009, 10:334 (24 July 2009)

An evolutionary breakpoint in the tamar wallaby, and an orthologous breakpoint found in human cancers, resemble centromeric regions in being enriched in LINE1s and ERVs and short of SINEs, a pattern of retroelements that may predispose to genomic instability
