PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, Aug. 18 (TNSJou) -- Brown University issued the following news release:
If you've ever seen a petunia with artfully variegated petals, then you've seen transposons at work. The flower's showy color patterns are due to transposable elements, or DNA sequences that can move locations within a genome. Yet when it comes to transposons' effects on humans, the results might not be as lovely or desirable.
