The Department of Languages and Computer Systems of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has participated in the discovery of cellular defenses against mobile genetic elements, called 'jumping genes', involved in the development and progression of many types of cancer. The study has been directed by the researcher Sara Rodríguez Heras and has been carried out at the Pfizer Centre - University of Granada - Andalusian Regional Government of Genomics and Oncology Research (GENYO). The results have just been published in the journal *Nature Communications*.
