The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Environmental Influence on L1 Retrotransposons in the Adult Hippocampus (2009, background): “L1s are abundant retrotransposons that comprise ∼20% of mammalian genomes (Lander et al., 2001; Waterston et al., 2002; Gibbs et al., 2004).”
The Human Gene Mutation Database: building a comprehensive mutation repository for clinical and molecular genetics, diagnostic testing and personalized genomic medicine (2013, positive): “2011),Rhesusmacaque(Rhesus MacaqueGenome Sequencing and Analysis Consortium 2007) and rat (Rat Genome Sequencing Project Consortium 2004), in which many apparently disease-causing mutations in human were found as wild type (‘compensated mutations’).”
tRNAscan-SE 2.0: improved detection and functional classification of transfer RNA genes (2019, background): “For example, the cat genome has over 403 500 tRNA predictions (the most among studied genomes) while the rat genome, previously reported to have many tRNA pseudogenes due to repetitive elements (84), has over 211 000 tRNA predictions (Table 4).”
MicroRNAs in Common Human Diseases (2012, background): “MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA molecules that have attracted tremendous attention from the biological and biomedical research communities over the past decade.”
