In each individual genome, a few retrotransposition-competent L1s (RC-L1s) can generate new heritable L1 insertions in the early embryo, primordial germ line, and germ cells., The retrotransposon LINE-1 (L1) is a significant source of endogenous mutagenesis in humans. In each individual genome, a few retrotransposition-competent L1s (RC-L1s) can generate new heritable L1 insertions in the early embryo, primordial germ line, and germ cells. L1 retrotransposition can also occur in the neuronal lineage and cause somatic mosaicism. Although DNA methylation mediates L1 promoter repression, the temporal pattern of methylation applied to individual RC-L1s during neurogenesis is unclear. Here, we identified a de novo L1 insertion in a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line via retrotransposon capture sequencing (RC-seq). The L1 insertion was full-length and carried 5ʹ and 3ʹ transductions. The corresponding donor RC-L1 was part of a large and recently active L1 transduction family and was highly mobile in a cultured-cell L1 retrotransposition reporter assay. Notably, we observed distinct and dynamic DNA methylation profiles for the de novo L1 and members of its extended transduction family during neuronal differentiation. These experiments reveal how a de novo L1 insertion in a pluripotent stem cell is rapidly recognized and repressed, albeit incompletely, by the host genome during neurodifferentiation, while retaining potential for further retrotransposition.},

However, the mechanisms that repress young L1 families and how L1 escapes to cause somatic genome mosaicism in the brain remain unclear. Here we report that a conserved Yin Yang 1 (YY1) transcription factor binding site mediates L1 promoter DNA methylation in pluripotent and differentiated cells. By analyzing 24 hippocampal neurons with three distinct single-cell genomic approaches, we characterized and validated a somatic L1 insertion bearing a 3ʹ transduction. The source (donor) L1 for this insertion was slightly 5ʹ truncated, lacked the YY1 binding site, and was highly mobile when tested textitin vitro. Locus-specific bisulfite sequencing revealed that the donor L1 and other young L1s with mutated YY1 binding sites were hypomethylated in embryonic stem cells, during neurodifferentiation, and in liver and brain tissue. These results explain how L1 can evade repression and retrotranspose in the human body.textless/ptextgreater},

abstract = {Somatic LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition during neurogenesis is
a potential source of genotypic variation among neurons. As a
neurogenic niche, the hippocampus supports pronounced L1
activity. However, the basal parameters and biological impact
of L1-driven mosaicism remain unclear. Here, we performed
single-cell retrotransposon capture sequencing (RC-seq) on
individual human hippocampal neurons and glia, as well as
cortical neurons. An estimated 13.7 somatic L1 insertions
occurred per hippocampal neuron and carried the sequence
hallmarks of target-primed reverse transcription. Notably,
hippocampal neuron L1 insertions were specifically enriched in
transcribed neuronal stem cell enhancers and hippocampus
genes, increasing their probability of functional relevance.
In addition, bias against intronic L1 insertions sense
oriented relative to their host gene was observed, perhaps
indicating moderate selection against this configuration in
vivo. These experiments demonstrate pervasive L1 mosaicism at
genomic loci expressed in hippocampal neurons.},

important exception to the central dogma of molecular biology,

retrocopies exist in the human genome reference sequence, the
extent of variation between individuals in terms of retrocopy
content has remained largely unexplored. Three recent studies
by Abyzov et al., Ewing et al. and Schrider et al. have
exploited 1,000 Genomes Project Consortium data, as well as
other sources of whole-genome sequencing data, to uncover
novel gene retrocopies. Here, we compare the methods and
results of these three studies, highlight the impact of
retrocopies in human diversity and genome evolution, and
speculate on the potential for somatic gene retrocopies to
impact cancer etiology and genetic diversity among individual
neurons in the mammalian brain.},
