A hidden genetic war is unfolding inside your DNA

 A hidden genetic war is unfolding inside your DNA

Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit flies discovered that key proteins protecting chromosome ends must evolve rapidly to counter these internal threats. When these proteins fall out of sync, chromosomes fuse and cells die. The work reveals how essential biological systems survive by constantly reinventing themselves.
Researchers uncovered an internal genetic arms race where crucial chromosome-protecting proteins must rapidly evolve to fight selfish DNA. Even tiny mismatches between these proteins can be fatal, highlighting how survival depends on constant molecular adaptation. Credit: AI/ScienceDaily.com
