Preferred Label : long interspersed nucleotide elements;
MeSH definition : Highly repeated sequences, 6K-8K base pairs in length, which contain RNA polymerase
II promoters. They also have an open reading frame that is related to the reverse
transcriptase of retroviruses but they do not contain LTRs (long terminal repeats).
Copies of the LINE 1 (L1) family form about 15% of the human genome. The jockey elements
of Drosophila are LINEs.;
MeSH synonym : line repeat sequence; line repeat sequences; repeat sequence, line; repeat sequences, line; sequence, line repeat; sequences, line repeat; long interspersed dna sequence elements;
MeSH hyponym : LINE-1 elements; jockey elements; Element, LINE-1; Elements, LINE-1; LINE 1 Elements; LINE-1 Element; L1 Elements; Element, L1; Elements, L1; L1 Element; Element, Jockey; Elements, Jockey; Jockey Element;
