20% of the human genome[edit]

The number cited in the main article itself is from 2001. Have there been any more accurate numbers since then? I can not believe it would be exactly 20.0% so surely it was rounded from some other value close by. 2A02:8388:1600:C80:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk)

-->now corrected to 21.1% and references cited

Genome/DNA Sequence[edit]

Would anyone be so kind to draw a short block-variant how a typical LINE looks like and make it available for the article? 2A02:8388:1641:4700:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sense?[edit]

The third sentence of the article doesn't make sense, and it seems to be left over from a previous version:

  "Some sources also give "Long interspersed nuclear element" as the long form for LINE."

That is the form given by the first sentence, so why is it repeated here? I would have removed it myself, but I don't know how to deal with the numbered citation (i.e., do I have to renumber the other cites)? Cyraxote (talk) 15:48, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

-->now it make sense, corrected! thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jv anand2k4 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How do these types relate?[edit]

According to the section on Types, LINEs are grouped into five main groups, called L1, RTE, R2, I and Jockey. And, apparently, they can be distinguished into three sets: L1, L2 and L3. So what is the relationship between these two forms of grouping. Is RTE a subset of L2? Or are some RTEs L2 elements and others L3? What are these distinctions and groupings based on? It is all not very enlightening. --Lambiam 08:41, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
