Abstract: An interview with Salk Institute neuroscientist Fred Gage is presented. When asked about the ways retrotransposons act as an evolutionary force, he answers that the elements can contribute to somatic evolution and disease. He states that the ultimate goal of creating a repository of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell is to compare the development of human brain and human's nearest primate living relatives such as chimps and bonobos. He also describes the composition of the iPS stem cell bank.
