Figure 1: G-rich sequences are a hallmark of young L1 retrotransposons. Figure 2: The sequence variation of L1-3′-UTR-encoded G4 is coupled with L1 subspeciation. Overall, our computational analysis ...
Like the aglets at the end of your shoelaces, protein-and-DNA assemblies known as telomeres protect the ends of your chromosomes from fraying. In work with potential implications for the development ...
