The term SINE was first coined (Singer, 1982) to describe the short interspersed elements (as opposed to the LINEs, long interspersed elements) that were found throughout many eukaryotic genomes. SINEs were defined only on the basis of their length and repetition. We can now separate the short repeated DNA elements into a number of classes, including the retroposons (Rogers, 1983), variable number of tandem repeats or VNTRs (Nakamura et al., 1987), and a number of smaller families of sequences whose nature is not yet understood (Jurka, 1990; Kaplan et al., 1991). Each of these subclasses has distinctly different characteristics; here we will discuss the retroposons only. The retroposons represent interspersed repeated elements that apparently have amplified via an RNA intermediate (Jagadeeswaran et al., 1981) [reviewed in Rogers (1983, 1985) and Weiner et al. (1986)], but do not code for any proteins that may aid the amplification process. In that sense, the retroposons are only differentiated from the processed pseudogenes based on their higher copy number. In this review, we will use the terms SINEs and retroposons interchangeably.
