The study, published in Cell today, reveals how the retrotransposon copia completes its replication cycle and travels into the nucleus through the nuclear pores. The study is a collaboration between ...

For the first time, scientists have visualized a retrotransposon, a “jumping gene”, inside the cell of a complex organism. Advanced cryo-Electron Tomography allowed this feat at sub-nanometer ...

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements, can replicate and reintegrate themselves into the genome, posing a threat to genomic integrity by inducing DNA rearrangements and ...

Data revealed high correlation between LINE-1 expression and retrotransposon (RT) burden, with variability across tumor types and genomic loci, demonstrating the potential for precision LINE-1 RT ...

Gene silencing is a negative feedback mechanism that regulates gene expression to define cell fate and also regulates metabolism and gene expression throughout the life of an organism. In plants, gene ...

Figure 1. Pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a syndrome with heterogeneous etiology and a spectrum of phenotypes. It may appear at varying gestational ages with different degrees of ...

This month's cover highlights the article Nup358 restricts ER-mitochondria connectivity by modulating mTORC2/Akt/GSK3β signalling by Joseph, Misha Kalarikkal and colleagues. The image shows a human ...
