Regulatory Transposable Elements in ENCODE
Transposable elements are the unwanted pests in our genome that keep producing more of themselves over evolutionary history. While we may not always appreciate their presence, it turns out that parts of the regulatory genome come from the transposable elements that we have picked up along the way.
Membrane topography variations cause apparent protein clustering
Apparent clustering of membrane proteins occurs upon failing to account for membrane topography variations. This we demonstrate and present a remedy for. Our data suggest that the high incidence of clustering reported misrepresents biology of consequence for our conceptional understanding.
