‘Jumping’ DNA regulates human neurons – Science Daily
‘Jumping’ sequences of DNA, known as transposable elements, partner up with evolutionarily recent proteins to influence the differentiation and physiological functioning of human neurons.
The human genome contains over 4.5 million sequences of DNA called “transposable elements,” these virus-like entities that “jump” around and help regulate gene expression. They do this by binding transcription factors, which are proteins that regulate the rate of transcription of DNA to RNA, influencing gene expression in a broad range of biological events.Now, an international team of scientists led by Didier Trono at EPFL has discovered that transposable elements play a significant role in inf…
