Jumping genes unite: How transposons cluster together through local genome unfolding by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

There is more movement in our genome than we think. Almost half of the human genome consists of transposons – short DNA ...

There is more movement in our genome than we think. Almost half of the human genome consists of transposons—short DNA sequences capable of relocating within the genome. They "jump" from one ...

Nearly all these inserted elements have been silenced by our cells' defense mechanisms over time, but a few, nicknamed "jumping genes," can still move around the human genome like viruses. Just ...
