Regions of the human genome considered junk DNA may play a key role in cancer

Cancer, Immunity, inflammation and cancer, Molecular Mechanisms and Experimental Therapy in Oncology Program - Oncobell / By

Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered “junk DNA” because the available technologies did not allow them to be studied with sufficient resolution. Now, new evidence suggests that some of these segments, such as the SST1/NBL2 macrosatellites, could have a more complex and determinative biological role than previously thought in nucleus organization, genome […]
