'Selfish' genes called introners proven to be a major source of genetic complexity
UC Santa Cruz researchers are studying the ways certain genetic elements hide and make copies of themselves, so they can propagate within a species' DNA, or even hop from one species to an unrelated one in a process called "horizontal gene tra . . .
