Martinez-Ugalde et al. used comparative transcriptomics to show that argonaute protein exWAGO is part of an evolutionarily conserved pathway for LTR retrotransposon regulation. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag117 🖌️ Laura Fabiola Espinosa Juárez / Isaac Martinez-Ugalde #genome #evolution #celegans

#TREnD2025 virtual day is here!! First talk starting now! 🥳

Super excited to see our work shared with the scientific community! We know #Argonaute proteins can be extracellular, but can they be transferred to recipient cells and can they function? Happy reading!
