After knocking out one of the transposable elements, called Lx9c11, from mice, the researchers infected the animals with Coxsackievirus B4, a virus that largely affects the pancreas and some other ...

Until recently, little was known about how transposable elements contribute to gene regulation. These are little pieces of DNA that can replicate themselves and spread out in the genome. Although they ...

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.
