Role of Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) on gene expression in the CNS

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

It is now known that at least 80% of the human genome is composed of non-coding DNA which has a biochemical activity and is involved in a wide range of activities and mechanisms. Among these, epigenetic modifications, cis-trans gene expression regulation, transcription factor binding sequences, are the most studied. Non-coding DNA is often characterised by a polymorphic and repetitive nature and it is composed of...
