Cell Preview

Publication September 29, 2022

It was great fun writing this Preview on a paper by Alan Lambowitz. In it, we attempt to integrate two large fields in 1,000 words! Hopefully, we made a fascinating and complex paper more accessible.

Thanks to John Moran, the expert on all things related to retrotransposons!
