Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ago, when viruses inserted their genetic material into our ancestors' ...

In the early stages of mammalian embryonic development, the bipotential gonads can differentiate into the testes or ovaries. These organs are essential for gamete production, transmitting genetic ...

During Earth’s early days, bacteria developed a self-destruct strategy for detecting and destroying phages before they’re able to take over the cell’s machinery. While this does wonders for our immune ...
