Iron is assembled inside cells into cofactors, essential for biological functions. Two types of cofactors, Iron Sulfur clusters and diferric tyrosyl radicals, share a conserved assembly complex containing the DRE2 enzyme, essentia

Lineage-specific evolution of SVA and LAVA retrotransposons

Annette Damert
SVA (SINE-R-VNTR-Alu) and LAVA (L1-Alu-VNTR-Alu) are composite non-autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons specific to hominoid primates. They are mobilized by the LINE-1-encoded protein machinery in trans. SVA insertions can cause di
