Identification of novel exonic mobile element insertions in epithelial ovarian cancers.

ABSTRACT: Mobile elements comprise about half of the human genome. Three active mobile element families (L1, Alu, and SVA) possibly cause diseases such as cancer. We conducted mobile element insertion (MEI) profiling of 44 epithelial ovarian cancers using exome-sequencing data. We identified a total of 106 MEIs using the Mobster program, 8 of which were novel exonic MEIs.
