An atlas of transcription initiation reveals regulatory principles of gene and transposable element expression in early mammalian development. Cell , 2025; DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.12.013 Cite ...

Much of the human genome is repetitive sequence derived from transposable elements. These include copy-and-paste retrotransposons and cut-and-paste DNA transposons. Only retrotransposons are ...

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.

DNA with self-interest: Transposable element conquers new strain of fly Date: May 11, 2015 Source: Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien Summary: Transposable elements are DNA sequences that ...

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to harness novel immunotherapies against ...

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection. The findings in ...

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. These elements have been largely ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the "dark side" of ...
