“…For example, it has been reported that L1 copies are involved in X-chromosome inactivation in mice (Chow et al, 2010). On the other hand, SINEs are enriched in the gene-rich A compartments, and some of their copies regulate gene expression by serving as binding sites for transcription factors (Román et al, 2008;Roman et al, 2011;Schmidt et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2013;Thybert et al, 2018;Kaaij et al, 2019;Ichiyanagi et al, 2021;Gassler et al, 2022;Gualdrini et al, 2022;Horton et al, 2023;Kaemena et al, 2023;Osipovich et al, 2023). Some LTR retrotransposons, especially those of ERVK, are enriched in the B compartments, whereas those of ERVL are often found in the A compartments.…”
