A new study shows that transposable elements play an important role in regulating genetic expression with implications to advance the understanding of genetic evolution. Until recently, little was ...
Researchers in Michigan published a study “Transposable elements contribute to cell and species-specific chromatin looping and gene regulation in mammalian genomes” in Nature Communications that shows ...
Jumping genes are short sections of DNA that have been incorporated randomly into the human genome over the long course of evolution. Also called transposable elements, these pieces of DNA have been ...
Transposable elements were first discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock more than 40 years ago. Today it is apparent that transposable elements are a common component of the genetic material in ...
Mammalian genomes have been colonised by transposable elements (TEs), so called ‘genetic parasites’, which occupy ~ 50% of genomic DNA and harbour the potential to propagate, resulting in genetic ...
Until recently, little was known about how transposable elements contribute to gene regulation. These are little pieces of DNA that can replicate themselves and spread out in the genome. Although they ...
For more than 50 years, scientists have puzzled over the genetic material contained in this "dark DNA." But there's a growing body of evidence showing that its proper functioning is critical for ...
