Why are transposons so common in eukaryotes, and exactly what do they do? In addition, all TEs in both class 1 and class 2 contain flanking direct repeats (Figure 3). Flanking direct repeats are ...

引言转座子（transposons），又称“跳跃基因”，是一类能够在基因组中自行复制并插入到新位置的DNA片段【1】。年轻、活跃的转座子的移动性和复制能力很强，会导致插入基因突变、重排和不稳定性【2】。生殖细胞（如精子和卵子）中需要严格的调控机制来抑 ...

A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome, Sinai Health researchers have found ...

Based on a system that was established over a decade ago by Smit and ourselves 13,16, non-autonomous DNA transposons are routinely classified based on significant similarities of their terminal ...

Biologists at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the origin of a curious duplication that gives plants ...

Biologists have investigated the inner workings of DNA methylation in plants. Their findings could help engineer crops that are more resilient to environmental changes, like heat or drought stress.

A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome, Sinai Health researchers have found.

The Chuong lab is interested in the evolution of gene regulation in adaptation and disease. We are particularly interested in transposons - abundant "selfish" genetic elements which constitute over 50 ...

Zurich-Reckenholz, 05.11.2024 - Agroscope is launching a field trial with winter wheat bred using a new method. Researchers are hoping to find new disease resistances that are useful for further ...

A spotless cheetah, a sight unseen for almost a century, has been photographed in Kenya's Athi Kapiti Conservancy. This rare ...
