Identification of novel ETn insertions in KRAB-ZFP cluster depleted mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Genetic deletion of a large KRAB-ZFP gene cluster on chromosome 4 (Chr4-cl) leads to transcriptional reactivation of retrotransposons (mainly ETn elements) in ES cells. We therefore wanted to test whether ETn elements retrotranspose in Chr4-cl KO mice at higher frequency. For this we purified genomic DNA from WT and KO mice, enriched gDNA libraries using ETn capture probes and sequenced those libraries as paire-end reads. These reads were then used to identify novel ETn insertions that are not annotated in the reference genome or present in the germ line of their progenitors.
