Retrotransposons can infect neighboring cells using a mechanism that relies on a small fusogen-like protein rather than on the envelope protein that is typically required for infection.

RNAs move through the extracellular space to transmit information between cells, including mammalian neurons, yet how specific RNAs are channeled into these extracellular routes is unknown. Using geno...

Safeguarding the genome from non-self elements is essential for reproduction, development, and ageing. One of the major threats to genome integrity is Transposable Elements (TEs), which can be post–tr...

Rates of phenotypic evolution vary across traits, and these evolutionary patterns themselves evolve. Understanding how development contributes to s...
