Transposable elements are DNA sequences which are also known as “jumping genes”, given their ability to move from one location of the genome to another. They are present in all eukaryotic genomes and ...

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to harness novel immunotherapies against tumors ...

Sankey diagram illustrating the inferred functions of TE-proximal genes. The width of connections between each vertical block represents the gene count, delineating GO term classifications associated ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

In healthy cells, transposable elements (TEs) are typically inactivated by methylation. But in cancer cells, these elements can become demethylated, enabling them to be expressed (1). Some ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Genome Center have outlined the pathway human herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV1) can use to contribute to Alzheimer's disease in aging brains. In a report published in ...

Study uncovers how transposable elements in Alzheimer's-affected brains could hold the key to new therapeutic approaches, as scientists uncover the genetic links behind these molecular disruptions.
