Unnecessary sequences called 'introns' are removed from gene transcripts. But where do they come from? | Genetics And ...

This kind of gene-stealing, brain-hacking behaviour is extremely rare in the animal kingdom. It’s more common in bacteria, ...

DNA holds the code for building life, but not all of it is useful. Some parts behave more like parasites, sticking around ...

DNA is the genetic code that provides the biological instructions for every living species, but not every bit of DNA helps the species survive. Some pieces of DNA are more like parasites, along for ...

A new study proves that a type of genetic element called 'introners' is the mechanism by which many introns spread within and ...

A new study from the University of California, Santa Cruz reveals that 'introners' are responsible for the spread of introns ...

A new study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms introners' role, providing the first ...

One process by which they do this is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT), also referred to as lateral gene transfer (LGT). In this article, we will discuss what HGT is, how it is used in research, ...
