This schematic illustrates how transposable elements, derived from functional RNAs or retroviruses, shape the human genome and act as regulatory DNA elements. It highlights their essential roles in ...

Regarded historically as genomic parasites, transposable elements (TEs) have now been recognized as significant contributors to cellular identity and function, especially in immune regulation.

Researchers reveal a novel method to uncover bits of our genetic blueprint that come from ancient genetic parasites, offering fresh insights into human evolution and health. The human genome, an ...
