Short interspersed nucleotide elementsMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : short interspersed nucleotide elements;
MeSH definition : Highly repeated sequences, 100-300 bases long, which contain RNA polymerase III promoters.
The primate Alu (ALU ELEMENTS) and the rodent B1 SINEs are derived from 7SL RNA, the
RNA component of the signal recognition particle. Most other SINEs are derived from
tRNAs including the MIRs (mammalian-wide interspersed repeats).;
MeSH synonym : sines; short interspersed dna sequence elements; SINE;
Wikipedia automatic translation : Sine (disambiguation);
