Transposable elements are drivers of gene evolution About 4% of human genes contain sequences derived fromtransposable elements in their coding region (Nekrutenko and Li 2003) About 25% of human promoter regions containsequences derivedfrom transposable elements (Jordan et al. 2003)

Two autosomal Mart genes, PEG10 (Mart2) and PEG11/Rtl1 (Mart1) are subject to parental imprinting and paternally expressed. Imprinting of both genes is controlled by differentially methylated regions. Two miRNA genes are located in Rtl1, are transcribed in an antisense orientation to Rtl1 and expressed exclusively from the maternal chromosome (reciprocal imprinting). RNA interference. Since RNA interference and methylation are considered as defence mechanism against mobile DNA, genome imprinting of gag-related genes might be related to retrotransposon silencing.
