Mobile element insertions and associated structural variants in longitudinal breast cancer samples

Abstract While mobile elements are largely inactive in healthy somatic tissues, increased activity has been found in cancer tissues, with significant variation among different cancer types. In addition to insertion events, mobile elements have also been found to mediate many structural variation eve...
