Transposable elements mobilize within and occasionally between genomes, including from host to virus. We identified two insertions of the human BC200 noncoding RNA gene in the poxvirus molluscum conta...

Abstract. The author reflects on her great-grandmother’s migration from a hacienda in Michoacán, Mexico, in the early 1900s to an ethnically segregated Mexican American community within the city of Co...

Background Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive genetic elements that can jump to new loci causing genome expansions, structural rearrangements, and can, ultimately, propel the evolution of geno...

Each year, MBARI invites applications for several in-person postdoctoral fellowships in the fields of biological, chemical, and physical oceanography, marine geology, and ocean engineering. MBARI also...

The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

Anti-choice activists argued that the end of Roe v. Wade would make women safer. The data shows that it did not.
