This element was not isolated for many years after this due to its extreme reactivity - it is separated from its compounds only with difficulty and then it immediately attacks the remaining materials of the compound. Full article >>>
Other organisms, like animals, have special ways to avoid cellular damage due to this element (and in fact require it to live.) Initially, when oxygen began building up in the environment, it was neutralized by materials already present. Full article >>>
We estimate the frequency of this insertion in finished clones to be approximately 1 in 1000 but the actual frequency could be much higher if this element has been removed from some finished sequences prior to submission. Full article >>>
