Investigation into the silencing of heterochromatin in mammalian cells
2016-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Much of the mammalian genome is composed of repetitive elements, consisting of tandem and interspersed repeats. Heterochromatinisation of pericentromeric tandem satellite repeats plays an important role in centromere formation and maintenance of genome stability. Additionally, several human diseases are caused by microsatellite repeat expansion. Among different classes of interspersed repeats, retro-elements LINEs...
