Large-scale comparison of gene families across 1154 Saccharomycotina genomes revealed that gene gains and losses drive yeast ...

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

Interdomain horizontal gene transfer (iHGT) between species can sometimes occur ... Maximum‐likelihood phylogenetic tree of RML‐3 proteins and bacterial homologs. Relevant bootstrap branch support ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers discover that "introners," transposable elements, are responsible for spreading noncoding DNA ...

A new study proves that a type of genetic element called 'introners' are the mechanism by which many introns spread within and between species, also providing evidence of eight instances in which ...

"Around half of the bacterial taxa in the wastewater community could pick up the plasmids, giving us a detailed map of horizontal gene transfer events." The study also showed that RAM can be used ...
