LINE-1 retrotransposons are mobile genome parasites that drive cancer evolution by reshuffling the host genome.
A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...
A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...
DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This ...
In a spectacular bit of science, a group of scientists has sequenced the DNA from the femur of a man who died 45,000 years ago. The femur they studied is over 20 times older than this 2000 year old ...
