Abstract
LINE retrotransposons actively shape mammalian genomes. Denli et al. reveal a new open reading frame, ORF0, on the antisense strand of human LINE-1 encoding a small regulatory protein. This finding may represent the birth of an emerging retrotransposon gene that can adopt various fates, as it can be fused to adjacent host sequences.
