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 ...

An immuno-oncology targeting panel accurately characterized tumor-resident immune cells and located pathologically and clinically relevant tumor microenvironment features. Molecular-Level Dissection ...

Transposable elements are DNA sequences which are also known as “jumping genes”, given their ability to move from one location of the genome to another. They are present in all eukaryotic genomes and ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Heterochromatin, sometimes known as the “dark side of the genome,” is a poorly studied fraction of DNA that makes up about half of our genetic material. For more than 50 years scientists have puzzled ...

New research suggests that transposable elements—or so-called “jumping genes”—may help scientists identify tumor-targeting proteins. The study, published Monday (March 27) in Nature Genetics, suggests ...

While mutations can arise in the genome and have little consequence, sometimes they are beneficial and selected to remain in an organism. In most cases, genetic errors have negative consequences for ...

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 ...
