2025年11月4日，北京大学基础医学院杨恩策团队在Genome Biology发表题为Transposable elements drive species-specific and tissue-specific transcriptomes in human development的论文 转座元件（Transposable elements, ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

To understand how organisms are related, researchers use molecular information to construct phylogenetic trees. Most of the time, scientists use thousands of protein-coding sequences to determine ...

Two new studies from the same group show how transposons can drive the evolution of sex chromosomes and how this affects dosage compensation. Drosophila miranda contains three different X chromosomes ...

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection. The findings in ...

2024年10月1日，李家洋院士领衔的中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所和崖州湾国家实验室的科研团队合作在国际著名学术期刊Plant Biotechnology Journal在线发表了题为“Generation of OsGRF4 and OsSNAC1 alleles for improving rice agronomic traits by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ...

So-called transposons are abundant DNA-elements found in every eukaryotic organism as a consequence of their ability to jump and multiply within the host genome. Their activity represents a threat to ...

A new study shows that transposable elements play an important role in regulating genetic expression with implications to advance the understanding of genetic evolution. Until recently, little was ...

Many living organisms suffer from parasites, which use the hosts’ resources for their own purposes. The problem of parasitism occurs at all levels right down to the DNA scale. Genomes may contain up ...
