Role of gene length in control of human gene expression: chromosome-specific and tissue-specific effects

2020-04-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> This study was carried out to pursue the observation that the level of gene expression is affected by gene length in the genomes of higher vertebrates. As transcription is a time-dependent process, it is expected that gene expression will be inversely related to gene length, and this is found to be the case. Here I describe the results of studies performed with the human genome to test whether...
