Retrotransposons are sequences of DNA in animal genomes that can replicate and reinsert themselves back into the genome. Experiments in flies and other model systems reveal that retrotransposons ...
IS110 transposons are a large, diverse family of bacterial insertion sequences (IS elements)—small, mobile DNA elements that ...
A new editorial was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on July 13, 2024, entitled, "Unveiling retrotransposon-derived DNA zip code for myeloma cell internalization." The complex interplay between ...
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 ...
The recent approval of a CRISPR-Cas9 therapy for sickle cell disease demonstrates that gene editing tools can do a superb job knocking out genes to cure hereditary disease. But it's still not possible ...
Ever since variants in the gene for TMEM106b were tied to frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases, this endolysosomal protein has been a head-scratcher for ...
