This paper identifies an Alu element insertion in the TBXT gene as the genetic mechanism driving tail-loss evolution in hominoids, showing it causes alternative splicing and tail absence in mice.

This study identifies BRCA1 and other DNA repair factors that suppress LINE-1 retrotransposition in human cells by affecting retrotransposition frequency and ORF2 protein translation.

This study identifies L1 protein nuclear entry mechanisms and shows a cell cycle bias for L1 retrotransposition peaking in S phase.
