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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

New research suggests that transposable elements—or so-called “jumping genes”—may help scientists identify tumor-targeting proteins. The study, published Monday (March 27) in Nature Genetics, suggests ...

Transcription factors that tune the expression of multiple genes could be key players in regulating behavior, but scientists need to scout for them. Peter Hamilton, a neuroscientist at Virginia ...
