Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE-1 in shaping the cancer genome structure and regulation.

Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a retrotransposon has been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve its goals. In a new work appearing online Wednesday in ...

Like their viral cousins, retrotransposons have been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve their goals. They hijack a little-known piece of the cell's DNA repair function to close ...

Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that replicate through an RNA intermediate and integrate into host genomes via specialised mechanisms. Among these, non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) ...

In a recent study published in Cell, a research team led by LI Wei and ZHOU Qi from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an innovative gene-writing technology ...

Based on previous studies in fruit flies, Andrea Schorn and Rob Martienssen of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory thought the answer to what protects vulnerable mouse embryo genomes might lie in small RNAs ...

Retrotransposons are evolutionarily ancient genes that “jump” around the human genome leaving a slew of repeat nucleotide sequences in their wake. These repeats can disturb normal gene function.

Molecular, or DNA-based, markers have been increasingly important in plant breeding because of their phenotypic stability, useful polymorphism, and ease of development which permits production of high ...
