Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...

Scientists at the Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge, said the test, used in many fertility ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Efforts to observe chicken embryonic development date back to Aristotle date back to 300 BC. However, because the chicken's eggshell is opaque, it has been necessary to break the shell ...
