An arms race is unfolding in our cells: Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the genome, threaten the cell's genome ...

Genomes are key to unlocking life’s evolutionary history. The presence and absence of certain genetic sequences and mutations can give us clues to the order in which species diverge. However, even ...

Research performed in the Center for Biomolecular Science & Engineering (CBSE) at the University of California, Santa Cruz, suggests that mobile repetitive elements–also known as transposons or ...

A new study published in Nucleic Acids Research unveils crucial advances in the engineering of CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs)—a class of natural, RNA-guided DNA integration systems. According ...
