Identification and Characterization of Polymorphisms in piRNA Regions

Identification and Characterization of Polymorphisms in piRNA Regions

piRNAs are a class of noncoding RNAs that perform functions in epigenetic regulation and silencing of transposable elements, a mechanism conserved among most mammals. At present, there are more than 30,000 known piRNAs in humans, of which more than 80% are derived from intergenic regions, and approx...
