Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'pause button' in the earliest stages of human development. Whether humans can control the timing of their development has long been debated. The new study ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Human embryo compaction, an essential step in the first days of an embryo's development, is driven by the contractility of its cells. These results contradict the presupposed driving role of cell ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

Scientists captured first real-time 3D video of human embryo implantation, revealing mechanical forces behind successful ...

The viral transposable element, MERVL, acts as a central switch during early embryonic development, driving totipotent gene ...
