Abstract (en) | The present thesis gives an overview of the occurence and fragmentation of LINE1 elements. The genome of Homo sapiens is in focus even though L1 elements of other organisms are discussed also. For the analysis of the fragmentation twenty surrogates of the L1HS sequence were defined. Excluding mismatches surrogates near the 3’ end of L1HS could be found more often in the human genome than surrogates near the 5’ end. A main reason for this is the LINE1 lifecycle as well as the variability of the 5’ end of L1 elements. A 17 base pair sequence near the 3’ end of L1HS was specified as a DNA probe sequence, which was used to analyse the position of LINE1 elements relative to the position of the ALU elements. A map was generated which illustrates the complementary distribution of L1 and ALU. Several sequences of various LINE1 subfamilies were compared using BLAST. The ORF2 turned out to be relatively conserved among L1 elements of different mammals. A more refined analysis of ORF2 functional groups was carried out. The zinc finger motif appeared to be highly conserved among a few LINE1 subfamilies |
