Abstract excerpt
Background: MSR1 repeats are a 36-38 bp minisatellite element that have recently been implicated in the regulation of gene expression, through copy number variation (CNV). Patients and methods: Bioinformatic and experimental methods were used to assess the distribution of MSR1 across the genome, evaluate the regulatory potential of such elements and explore the role of MSR1 elements in cancer, particularly...
