Meet a real Biologist:
Angela Atwood-Moore
"In our lab, we study transponsons in yeast. Yeast cells are perfect for the study because they are the simplest equivalent to a human cell. Less than 20 years ago, my boss identified transposons in a certain type of yeast. He saw that they were active, could copy themselves, and move around in the genome. At that time, these regions were considered “junk DNA,” because the prevalent thought among scientists was that they had no function. Now we are learning that these regions do have functions."
