Exploring the Relationship of Transposable Elements and Ageing: Causes and Consequences
15 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Ageing is a gradual biological process marked by a decline in physiological function, increasing susceptibility to disease, and mortality. Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences capable of moving within the genome and thus potentially inducing mutations and disrupting normal cellular functions. Their mobile nature contributes to genomic variation, as transposition events can alter gene...
