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...

Transposable-element (TE) abundance can vary substantially among populations, yet population-specific differences in TE content remain incompletely characterized. Here, we compared known TE families a...

By revisiting ribosomal DNA spacer regions excluded from standard genome assemblies, researchers identify a new source of abundant microRNA precursors linked to cancer.

With the far-right Alternative for Germany leading in polls for national and state elections, institutions are facing up to proposed restrictions on academic freedom.

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