The discovery in maize of jumping genes, also known as transposable elements, revolutionised our perception of genome organisation across kingdoms. Transposable elements are mobile small repetitive ...

To understand how organisms are related, researchers use molecular information to construct phylogenetic trees. Most of the time, scientists use thousands of protein-coding sequences to determine ...

Regarded historically as genomic parasites, transposable elements (TEs) have now been recognized as significant contributors to cellular identity and function, especially in immune regulation.

Retrotransposons are pivotal in human genome evolution, driving structural variation and regulatory innovation while influencing health and disease.

Flax is a globally important crop valued for its fiber, industrial uses, and omega-3-rich oil, yet incomplete genomic information has long limited efforts to understand and improve its key traits.
