Other possible mechanisms include mosaicism, in which DNA extracted from blood lymphocytes has different sequence than DNA extracted from muscle cells, and cryptic chromosomal rearrangements.
The majority of L1s in the genome are 5' truncated [ 42 ] , and over time, a full-length L1 may be disrupted by mutation, insertion of another transposable element, or other DNA rearrangements.
Several mechanisms of genetic change are thought to lead to speciation, including gene evolution via coding sequence mutation, gene expression variation by regulatory element mutation and chromosomal rearrangement - which has the potential to create reproductive barriers and induce genetic isolation within an existing population [ 6 ] . Although a thorough determination of all genetic differences between humans and our closest non-human primate relatives will not be possible until the genomic sequences of great ape species have been determined, many of the chromosomal rearrangements between great apes have been previously characterized at the cytogenetic level.
Together, these observations suggest a 'hit-and-run' scenario in which transposable elements may play a part in the origin of chromosome rearrangements, but are lost (either through deletion or transposition) by the time rearrangements reach high frequency or fixation between species [ 66].
An important discovery in comparative genomics is that local gene rearrangements happen quite often during evolution, disrupting gene order in gene clusters [ 13].
