A new USC Leonard Davis School-led study highlights how transposons—commonly called "jumping genes" because of their ability to move to different parts of the genome—are associated with age-related ...
In 2001 the sequencing of the human genome revealed a surprising fact: over 45% of our genome comes from sequences called transposons, ‘jumping’ genes that can move within the genome, generating new ...
A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome, Sinai Health researchers have found. This ...
Our genome, any geneticist will tell you, can be a chaotic place. In addition to holding the necessary instructions for life, our DNA also houses droves of mobile genetic snippets that can ...
Understanding transposons provides a new starting point to generate more powerful gene editing tools
CRISPR has ushered in the era of genomic medicine. A line of powerful tools has been developed from the popular CRISPR-Cas9 to cure genetic diseases. However, there is a last-mile problem – these ...
