Highlights d Single-cell genomic analysis of hippocampal neurons reveals a somatic L1 insertion d The donor L1 is slightly 5ʹ truncated and lacks a conserved YY1 binding site d Young L1s with truncated or mutated YY1 binding sites are globally hypomethylated d L1 is able to mobilize in the brain because of locus-specific exceptions to repression
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
