Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes" – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell University ...

Transposons, so-called jumping genes, are a threat to genomes, so plants work hard to prevent them from mobilizing and re-inserting into the genome. Spirodela polyrhiza, the most ancient member of the ...

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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance.

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 ...

CU Boulder researcher Edward Chuong recently received an international award for his lab’s work studying transposons in the human genome Our genome, it turns out, is full of freeloaders—selfish ...

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 ...
