Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...
They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.
Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution microscopy method, 3D-SPARK, maps changes in replication nanostructures in ...

Unlike "junk email" that is immediately deleted from the email box, "junk DNA" continues to exist in living creatures in nature such as bacteria, insects, and even mammals such as humans, alongside ...
The discovery centers on the unique strands of DNA contained within our mitochondria, the power stations of our cells. By ...
A new model offers a possible solution to the scientific question of why neutral sequences, sometimes referred to as 'junk DNA', are not eliminated from the genome of living creatures in nature and ...
