Precise spatiotemporal control of protein synthesis is essential during embryogenesis, yet directly measuring translation kinetics in vivo remains challenging in vertebrates. In particular, it remains...

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...

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.

SUMOylation is an essential eukaryotic ubiquitin-like post-translational modification that plays a central role in the regulation of various nuclear processes and stress responses. It canonically occu...

The latent interactions of molecular glue degraders are identified proteome-wide.

Tünnermann et al. use live-cell imaging to study promoter activity under the control of an enhancer inserted at different genomic distances. RNA production from the promoter occurs in clusters of tran...

Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.

Much of the genome is made up of repetitive DNA sequences that trace back to ancient mobile elements, many of which have lost their ability to copy themselves into new locations but can still cause pr...

Ahel et al. show that the ChAHP complex drives SINE B2 repression independently of HP1 and not through steric occlusion. Instead, CHD4-dependent chromatin-remodeling activity repositions nucleosomes, ...

SINEs are short transposable elements that make up large fractions of mammalian genomes. Known to be transcribed by RNA polymerase III, their regulation has remained largely unexplored. Schnabl-Baumga...

The emergence of the eukaryotes coincided with the diversification of histone proteins and their post-translational modifications by enzymes that constitute the core of eukaryotic chromatin. Yet the e...

During regeneration, tissues must translate transient cellular variability into stable spatial organization. Tissue architecture generates a density-dependent window of heterogeneity in the mechanosen...

Repbase and Dfam, the two foundational resources for transposable element annotation, are being unified into a single, fully open access framework, with Repbase released under CC-0 and its core curati...

Gregory J. Hannon passed away in April 2026 at the age of 61. A towering figure in modern molecular biology, Greg influenced remarkably diverse areas of science. His work reshaped our understanding of...

We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

In this study, the authors use the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to show that maternal microRNAs are delivered from the intestine to embryos by the yolk, where they regulate gene expression an...

Nature - Single-cell transcriptomics combined with morphological and ecological data show that the rapid evolutionary radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika was accompanied by dietary...

Abstract. In eukaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) often involves transposable elements (TEs), host–parasite relationships, aquatic environments, or a
