Article Synopsis
- Transposable elements, or transposons, are repetitive DNA sequences that can move within genomes, often increasing their copy numbers significantly.
- This Review explores how retrotransposons, a major type of transposon, may impact the aging process and contribute to age-related diseases in complex organisms like humans.
- Recent findings shed light on the role of retrotransposons in somatic tissues throughout an individual's life, revealing their interactions with human health and biological functions beyond just germline activity.
