The Role of Somatic Transposition in Age-associated Genomic Instability

Description: Project Narrative Retrotransposable element (RTE) DNA sequences are parasitic, mobile, and normally repressed DNA elements that can insert into new genomic positions using a “copy and paste” mechanism. Recently, it was discovered that retrotransposable elements become active in cellular senescence and aging. The goal of this proposal is to characterize the detrimental consequences of RTE derepression in cellular senescence and to assess whether RTEs may be damaging to the genome of somatic cells during aging.
