LINE-1, a “jumping gene” making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering insights into genome evolution and disease. Viruses are masters of hijacking the cells they infect. To make more copies of themselves, they take over the host’s genetic machinery. In doing so, they often leave behind small […]
