In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors constructed a comprehensive atlas of active autonomous terminal inverted repeat ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune ...

From the beginning of its history the Royal Society has devoted much attention to the publication of communications by its Fellows and others. Within three years from the granting of the first Charter ...

A new study published in Nucleic Acids Research unveils crucial advances in the engineering of CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs)—a class of natural, RNA-guided DNA integration systems. According ...

Transposons, mobile DNA elements found in the genomes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, move randomly from one site in a chromosome to another using a process catalyzed by transposases. This ...

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 ...
