Why jumping genes don’t send us into meltdown - [Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:46:20 +0000 ] A team of researchers has explained why the so-called “jumping genes” found in most living organisms don’t ultimately kill off their hosts, putting an end to a long-standing scientific mystery.The study reveals for the first time how the movement and duplication of segments of DNA known as transposons is regulated. This prevents a genomic meltdown, and instead enables transposons to live in harmony with their hosts – including humans.Transposons were discovered in the 1940s by Barbara McClintock, ... | Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge
