Retrotransposing a promoter for development.
Nat. Cell Biol. 23, 1221-1223 (2021)
Formerly regarded as 'junk' DNA, transposable elements are now thought to be players in genome evolution. A new study reveals remarkable conservation of a retrotransposon insertion acting as an alternative promoter to drive the expression of a cell cycle regulator isoform in early embryos, potentially controlling the timing of pre-implantation development.
