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 ...
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 ...
Around 2015, Katherine Chiappinelli was investigating the mechanism behind a group of drugs approved to treat blood cancers—and showing promise against other cancers—when she made a puzzling discovery ...
New research suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to direct novel immunotherapies to tumors that don't typically respond to immune-based treatments. Jumping ...
The human genome, an intricate tapestry of genetic information for life, has proven to be a treasure trove of strange features. Among them are segments of DNA that can "jump around" and move within ...
Regarded historically as genomic parasites, transposable elements (TEs) have now been recognized as significant contributors to cellular identity and function, especially in immune regulation.
New research from scientists at Cleveland Clinic’s Genome Center and their collaborators at other institutions describes a pathway that human herpes simplex-1 (HSV-1) can use to contribute to the ...
Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, have discovered a potential new target for cancer immunotherapy in transposable elements (TEs), short segments of DNA that can ...
Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...
