Summary

RTL6 is a eutherian-specific gene, presumably derived from a retrovirus (Irie et al., 2022). [supplied by OMIM]

Forensic Context

A study in human blood samples stored at 4°C demonstrated that the transcriptome degradation pattern could be divided into four distinct stages (0-2, 4-14, 21-56, and 84-168 days) [Zhang et al. DOI:10.1016/j.forsciint.2024.111930].
