Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Transposons, or 'jumping genes' -- DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers have ...

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors constructed a comprehensive atlas of active autonomous terminal inverted repeat ...

CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...

Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...
