It鈥檚 made up of transposable elements (TEs)鈥攄escendants of ancient viruses. As a Ph.D. student at the Max-Delbr眉ck Center for Molecular Medicine, Andrea Schorn studied an ancient TE that was resurrected from fish and is active in pretty much all vertebrates鈥攅xcept fish. Today, Schorn is an assistant...

But to Dr. Andrea Schorn, this dark matter is actually quite bright. Schorn, with a Ph.D. on mobile DNA from the Max-Delbr眉ck Center for Molecular Medicine, joins the CSHL faculty as...

These sentries, called epigenetic marks, attach to the double helix at such spots and prevent the underlying DNA...
