These primate specific repeats are a prominent example of short interspersed elements.
An example of these regions found on chromosome 16 is PV92, and they are descendants of a dimer of FRAM and FLAM. These regions have eight subfamilies: Jo, Jb, Sx, Sz, Sc, Sq, Sp and Y. Adenosine to inosine RNA editing, performed by the ADAR family, is most common where they occur. These regions are thought to derive from 7SL RNA. They are transcribed by RNA polymerase III and then integrated intothe genome by the reverse transcriptase of LINE-1. These primate specific repeats are a prominent example of short interspersed elements. For 10 points, identify these most common transposons in humans.
