DNA from a human brain gene has turned up in a virus
Unrelated virus. (Heather Davies/SPL/Getty Images) Some pieces of our DNA can copy themselves into new locations. Copies derived from one gene active in human brain cells appear to have taken that ...
Scientists have discovered a human gene with a remarkable double life: it appears to play an important role in brain cells while still retaining the ability to jump around the genome. Called BC200, ...
