要旨
Biological differences among human and non-human primates are brought by genomic evolution. In particular so-called mobile genomes are expected to have a great potential to drive genomic evolution as they can induce drastic changes during evolutionary short period. However, how mobile elements link genomic changes and biological evolution in primates is still largely unknown. In my project I focus on one of the primate-specific mobile element families, namely HERVH, by comprehensive study to cover the wide range of individual elements. The approaches from the point of view of both genomic evolution and molecular biological assessment allow us to understand human evolution driven by mobile genomic elements.
