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 ...

Loop formation in a simulated section of the genome. From left to right, more transposons in the shape of spheres have been inserted into the area. From top to bottom, simulations are shown, in which ...

Explore the motivations and reasoning behind a recent Benchmark paper that establishes a new method to provide a powerful tool to amplify various environmental circular DNAs. With a research ...

If you thought transposons were mere genetic curiosities, think again. In the hands of research scientists, genetic elements akin to those that give Indian corn its unique coloration can be used to ...
