Such a great article by Mitch Leslie in @science.org about the potential of inhibiting LINE-1 RT – a genomic, virus-like repetitive element – to address a spectrum of diseases, including ROME’s focus: #neurodegenerative and #autoimmune diseases. www.science.org/content/arti... #darkgenome

Could blocking ‘jumping genes’ help fight disease and aging?

The first clinical trials are testing inhibitors of transposons, DNA sequences that hop around the genome on their own

We’re excited to announce a new publication in Nature Communications: the first large-scale, pan-cancer analysis of LINE-1 expression levels and retrotransposition (RT) activity. These data demonstrate the potential for precision LINE-1 RT-targeted therapeutic approaches. rometx.com/press-releas...
