Scientists discover a human brain gene that can jump through DNA
Scientists have discovered a human gene called BC200 that appears to play an important role in brain cells while retaining the ability to jump around the genome. Evolved from a transposon millions of years ago, it never lost its mobility, and researchers found it embedded in a human poxvirus, suggesting it may have jumped from infected skin cells into the virus.
