Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human genome—comprising about 17% of the genome. It is commonly called a "jumping gene" or ...
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...
They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.
DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...
The whole genome sequencing (WGS) method to identify tumor cells in breast cancer patients provides insights for developing targeted therapies or guide patients to match clinical trials, significantly ...
New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...
Scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal - the bowhead whale. It can live for more than 200 years ...
