Abstract:Background: Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) comprise a major portion of the human genome and are essential for genetic diversity. These elements are known to have the capability to induce mutations in the human genome. To date, there are several MGE insertions which have been reported to be associated with cancer. We aim to use genome next-generation sequencing data and appropriate bioinformatics tools to accurately identify the insertion sites of MGEs in the human genome.Results: Herein, we introduce the MeX p… Show more
