Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...
They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.
CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

What naked mole-rats lack in the looks department they make up for it in longevity, living healthily for nearly four decades.
Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...
A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their ...
MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we ...
Throughout life, our cells are constantly exposed to environmental and internal factors that can damage DNA. While such DNA ...
