Mammalian genomes have been colonised by transposable elements (TEs), so called ‘genetic parasites’, which occupy ~ 50% of genomic DNA and harbour the potential to propagate, resulting in genetic ...

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to harness novel immunotherapies against tumors ...

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection. The findings in ...

New research suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to direct novel immunotherapies to tumors that don't typically respond to immune-based treatments. Jumping ...

Sankey diagram illustrating the inferred functions of TE-proximal genes. The width of connections between each vertical block represents the gene count, delineating GO term classifications associated ...

The gene-silencing complex HUSH might be involved in complex disorders affecting the brain and neurons. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Researchers now uncover the in vivo targets ...
