Pattern of Repetitive Element Transcription Segregate Cell Lineages during the Embryogenesis of Sea Urchin <i>Strongylocentrotus purpuratus</i>

Repetitive elements (REs) occupy a significant part of eukaryotic genomes and are shown to play diverse roles in genome regulation. During embryogenesis of the sea urchin, a large number of REs are expressed, but the role of these elements in the regulation of biological processes remains unknown. T...
