Suppression of Transposable Element Activity as an Approach to Therapy
Transposable elements are DNA sequences that can copy themselves. The remnants of ancient viral infections, they encode viral-like particles that act to insert DNA into the genome. Transposable elements are suppressed in youth, but with age the epigenetic control over DNA structure and gene expressi
