Apoptosis uncovers human evolutionary heritage sequestered in non-coding DNA

2025-11-13

Abstract excerpt

Cell-free chromatin particles (cfChPs), primarily derived from non-coding DNA (ncDNA) and released from apoptotic cells into the bloodstream, can be horizontally transferred into living cells. However, their potential role in generating ncDNA within recipient cells remains unknown. We previously reported that cfChP- sized fragments generated upon sonicating high-molecular-weight DNA can indiscriminately transmit t...
