Article Abstract:

Transposable elements (TEs) that are dismissed as junk DNA are emerging as major players having significant influence on the evolution of genomes. It is evident in many of the processes that shape the genome and control the activity of its genes.

The epigenomic era opens

Article Abstract:

Biologists are researching on how a single mammalian genome can be regulated to produce different cell types. Genome mapping has provided three-dimensional aspects of the way in which the genome is organized in the cell nucleus to regulate DNA.

Fly library boosts gene tool supply

Article Abstract:

A report reveals that to investigate genes in tissues or developmental stages across the whole of the insects' genome, a library, which consists of genes known as RNA interference transgenes, of transgenic fruitflies, are developed.
