VIRAL ENRICHMENT. “Here, we add another facet to these observations by showing that the promoter regions of lincRNAs are specifically enriched for ancient TES. This finding indicates that not only have many lincRNA genes evolved before the radiation of primates and rodents but also that at least some features of their regulation were already established at that time through TE insertion.” (TES = TE-derived sequences; lincRNA = long intergenic non-coding RNA; TE = transposable element).
