- The finding is framed as evidence of persistent transposition of BC200 in primates rather than a one-off event.
- The report appears in Science, Volume 393, Issue 6818, pages 1342-1346, September 2026.
- Full methodological details are behind the publisher's access barrier; the public record confirms the core claim.
