Co-evolution of L1s and the human genome. The illustration represents the co-evolution between LINE-1 and the human genome, showing the inactivated L1s neutralized by previous human genomes. Notably, the L1-AS promoter is conserved through LINE-1 evolution. Also shown are currently known L1 control mechanisms, which obligates L1 to evolve to avoid extinction in the human genome.
