Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit flies discovered that key proteins protecting chromosome ends must evolve rapidly to counter these internal threats. When these proteins fall out of sync, chromosomes fuse and cells die. The work revealsContinue Reading
