[Human mobile genetic elements: structure, distribution and functional role]
Abstract
Data concerning human mobile genetic elements which make up 45% of the genome are reviewed. Much attention is focused on their role in genome functioning, such as recombination, regulation of gene expression and neogenes besides classification and distribution.
