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 ...

In Namibia’s Etosha National Park, microbes inside elephants and giraffes reveal how wildlife and ecosystems adapt after wildfire.
EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...
Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...
Sometimes after a long day, we feel plain exhausted and just want to flop into bed. In those moments, brushing our teeth can feel like a chore, especially when the comfort of sleep is waiting. Yet ...
Since 2019, MIT researchers have published a new concept called prime editing, which is more precise than regular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. As a result, it has fewer off-target effects and less chance ...
The mummy now known as the Zimapán man was found to have a diverse microbiome that reveals more about what one ancient Mesoamerican culture ate.
Preserving DNA in biological samples has long posed a challenge for researchers, but the process may be about to get a lot easier.
A study of elephants, giraffes and other wildlife in Namibia's Etosha National Park underscores the ways in which the environment, biological sex, and ...
Scientists detect Bartonella bacteria DNA in sand flies from the Brazilian Amazon, with genetic links to Andean strains.
