Because the fractional counts displayed the least bias and variance in the estimation of repetitive element abundance, and was most similar to the true abundance, we chose to use fractional counts as the default counting strategy for RepEnrich. The majority of transposable elements did not display strong transcriptional signatures (Additional file 1: Figure S12, S13).

Among the LTR elements with Pol II binding, the endogenous retrovirus HERV-Fc1 displayed a large-degree of Pol II and Pol II S2 enrichment with the most prominent binding in a K562 CML line. High throughput sequencing data poses a challenge to these studies due to the ambiguity in assigning short reads mapping to more than one genomic location (referred to here as multi-mapping reads). As expected, the tRNA transcripts were localized to the cytosol and not polyadenylated (Additional file 1: Figure S12). Although the HERV super-family of retrotransposons is not thought to be active for retrotransposition, several of its members have been associated with multiple diseases.

Some Pol II transcribed snRNA psuedogenes may also be transcribed, and have been found to be associated with L1-encoded proteins [ 25].

To investigate the transcription and regulation of repetitive elements in a variety of cell types, we collected data from multiple cell lines. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.Thus, proceeds of certain crimes committed in another country may constitute proceeds of a specified unlawful activity for purposes of the money laundering statutes.

As ESCs differentiate into various cell types, the proportion of shared DHSs decreases, however, cancer cells gain back many of the DHSs originally found in ESCs. A) Comparison of the estimated abundance from the unique count method, which only sums reads that can be assigned uniquely to a single subfamily of repetitive elements, versus the true abundance. The initial sequencing of the human genome revealed that ~55% of the genome is comprised of repetitive DNA sequences [ 1].
