Funded Activity Summary

Retrotransposons are mobile genes that copy-and-paste themselves in the human genome. Previously thought to represent ñjunk DNAî, retrotransposons are increasingly being found to play important roles in biology. This fellowship will allow Dr Faulkner to research the consequences of retrotransposons being active in the body during development, and in adulthood, as a potential cause of cancer.
