Understanding evolutionary processes, by studying eusociality and transposons using genomic tools

[Mobile DNA @MobDNAjournal]

🧬Happy Transposon Day!

🎉Each year on the 16th of June we commemorate the birthdate of the founder of transposable element research, Barbara McClintock (1902-1992).

It's an absolute scandal and tragedy that India is forced to spend $250m/year to provide access to the latest science to its people. A complete and total failure of global science leadership and of science writ large.
