Researchers say findings suggest it may be possible to stop cancer growth using approaches such as restraining TE activity in cancer cells.

Heterochromatin, sometimes known as the “dark side of the genome,” is a poorly studied fraction of DNA that makes up about half of our genetic material. For more than 50 years scientists have puzzled over the genetic material contained in this “dark … [7056 chars]
