Widespread transfer of genes between species has radically changed the genomes of today’s mammals, researchers at the University of Adelaide have found. In the world’s largest study of so-called “jumping genes”, the researchers have traced two particular jumping genes across 759 species of plants, animals and fungi. These jumping genes are actually small pieces of […]
