An team of scientists found a family of genome sequences known as “transposable elements.” They play a vital role in gene ...

This study explores the role of transposable elements (TEs) in modulating immune responses in cardiomyopathy, using RNA-Seq and single-cell sequencing data from a mouse model of experimental ...

Transposable elements are mobile small repetitive DNA sequences that play key roles in gene regulation and genome structure and are regarded as important drivers of genetic diversity in plants.

Transposable elements make up more than 70% of the human genome, but until recently, they have been considered as 'junk' DNA without any meaningful function.

Transposable elements (TEs) significantly impact plant genome structure and function. This study examines the distribution, activity, and expression patterns of TEs across 14 Rosaceae species.

A key protein network that keeps cells safe from dangerous genes has been uncovered. A research team from La Jolla Institute for Immunology (CA, USA), The University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia ...

Study uncovers how transposable elements in Alzheimer's-affected brains could hold the key to new therapeutic approaches, as scientists uncover the genetic links behind these molecular disruptions ...

Ever since Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher first isolated DNA back in 1869, science has been on an incredible path of genomic discovery. One of the major moments in the journey occurred in the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once ...
