Z_1_16 — Transposable Elements: Jumping Genes and Genome Evolution

Transposable elements (TEs) — sequences of DNA capable of moving ("jumping") from one genomic location to another — constitute approximately 45% of the human genome and up to 85% of the maize genome, making them the sing

L_4_06 — Epigenetics and Transgenerational Inheritance

Epigenetics — the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself — has transformed modern biology by revealing a layer of regulatory information "above" the genome

ZE_2_10 — Ethics of Knowledge Suppression and Epistemic Justice

The ethics of knowledge suppression and epistemic justice examines the moral dimensions of how knowledge is produced, distributed, silenced, and distorted. Miranda Fricker (Epistemic Injustice, 2007) identified two core
