Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...

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, ...

Dr. Vignesh Kasinath, an assistant professor of biochemistry at University of Colorado Boulder, has joined the Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences with 21 other early-career scientists.

The length of chromosome 7 is 127 million bases. P indicates present. No targets were observed in stretches 42 to 43 million and 84 to 85 million. TF Binding Sites in the piRNA Gene Promoters In the ...

Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. 'Jumping genes' are one cause of mutations, but cells try and combat them with a specialized RNA called piRNA.

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 ...

Introduction: Piwi proteins and the associated Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) coordinate a surveillance system that protects the animal genome from DNA damage induced by transposable element (TE) ...

The mechanisms that ensure developmental progression in the early human embryo remain largely unknown. A new study suggests that ‘selfish DNA,’ or transposons, controls early human development. As ...
