Study uncovers how cells identify and silence unwanted jumping genes

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have uncovered how cells recognize and sideline disruptive genetic patterns caused by transposons in the genome. (MEMPHIS, Tenn. – May 22, 2026) Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell survival if left unchecked. Cells control these “jumping genes” by silencing them, but little... [3950 chars]
