Info:
A new technique is described; Transposon Insertion Profiling (TIPseq). The method uses vectorette PCR and paired-end Illumina sequencing to map (LINE-1, L1) retrotransposon insertions in the human genome. A detailed protocol is provided.

Pippin Prep is used to remove fragments below 400 bp from libraries prior to sequencing.
