Our genome, any geneticist will tell you, can be a chaotic place. In addition to holding the necessary instructions for life, our DNA also houses droves of mobile genetic snippets that can ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Transposons, or 'jumping genes' -- DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers have ...

In a study published in Cell, a research team led by ZHANG Yong'e and WANG Haoyi from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has characterized the diversity of DNA transposons and ...

CU Boulder researcher Edward Chuong recently received an international award for his lab’s work studying transposons in the human genome Our genome, it turns out, is full of freeloaders—selfish ...

From the beginning of its history the Royal Society has devoted much attention to the publication of communications by its Fellows and others. Within three years from the granting of the first Charter ...
