Understanding Twins: Types, Facts, and the Unique Bonds They Share
Twins are a captivating subject of study, with two main types: identical and fraternal. Identical twins result from a single fertilised egg splitting, sharing identical DNA. Fraternal twins develop from separate eggs fertilised simultaneously. Their emotional connection often surpasses typical sibling relationships, leading to intriguing dynamics. ...

New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...
