  1. Positions refer to reference genome GRCh37/hg19. The mobile ‘elements’ are identified by chromosome. At least two inserts were verified by PCR for each ‘element’ except the Chr 6 element (only one insert verified) and the Chr 3 element (not verified but described by Tubio et al. [13]). The Chr 3 and Chr 14 elements are polymorphic L1s that are not in the reference genome but were shown to transduce sequence by Tubio et al. [13]; their insertion point in the reference genome is given in italics. The polyA addition site for the Chr 14 element is at the end of a 36bp fragment of an L2a element. The Chr8 element showed both transduction and mapping to the native L1 insert—of the two inserts verified, one had 3’ unique sequence transduced and one was pure L1 3’ terminus
  2. Transduced sequence, maximum extent of unique sequence observed in inserts verified by PCR (Additional file 2), except for Chr 3 element where read map position is given. +/−, strand bearing polyA, which is same as orientation of L1 or Alu if present. Tumours, number of tumours with inserts. Method, method of identification: Cl, cluster of ‘translocation’ breakpoints from discordant reads; L1, cluster of breakpoints 3’ to a known active L1 (not exhaustive). Max transduced, maximum unique sequence transduced in cloned insert. Hot L1 list, rank in list of active L1s of Brouha et al. [24]. Tubio list, whether the elements that transduce 3’ sequence were listed by Tubio et al. [13] and how many inserts were reported; N/A, not applicable as were not transduction events
