Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure of LINE (long interspersed nuclear element) sequences and the reason they are referred to as retrotransposons.
Introduction:
LINE sequences are a group of long scattered elements comes under the category of repetitive transposable DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences. The repetitive DNA sequence is the group of repeated elements and they are the patterns of

You suspect that the inserted sequence is a transposon and would like to determine which of the three major transposon families it belongs to.
