Protein complex found to keep jumping genes in place

Original: Keeping jumping genes in place: New role for protein complex discovered

Researchers report a newly discovered role for a protein complex in keeping 'jumping genes' — transposable elements — from moving around the genome. The finding sheds light on how cells protect their DNA, with implications for understanding mutations and genetic disease.

Why now: Fresh research coverage of a new biological mechanism for genome stability is drawing attention.
