If you’ve ever had to interact with a university Title IX office for sexual harassment or assault, the essays assigned to the Cornell 7 are not surprising. Higher education must change how we navigate the victim experience. #Cornell #Cornell7 #TitleIX

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇
