TERRA, CpG methylation, and telomere heterochromatin: Lessons from ICF syndrome cells
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Self-reinforcing negative feedback loops are commonly observed in biological systems. RNA-mediated negative feedback loops have been described in the formation of heterochromatin at centromeres in fission yeast and the inactive X chromosome in mammalian cells. The telomere repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) has also been implicated in the formation of telomeric heterochromatin through a self-reinforcing negative...
