Periodic Reporting for period 3 - PRIMATE-TE-IMPACT (Mapping the retrotransposon-mediated layer of neuronal gene regulation in the human genome)

The Primate-TE-Impact research program investigates the influence of transposable elements (TEs), parasitic DNA sequences in our genome and their KRAB zinc finger repressor proteins (KZNFs), on the expression of neuronal genes. My lab investigates to which extent recent...
