JUMP AROUND, JUMP AROUND: TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENT ACTIVATION IN NEURODEGENERATIVE TAUOPATHY

Transposable elements, or “jumping genes,” constitute ~45% of the human genome. We have identified transposable element activation as a key mediator of neurodegeneration in tauopathies, a group of disorders that are pathologically defined by deposits of tau protein in the brain.
