CRISPR deletion of a SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA_67) retrotransposon demonstrates its ability to differentially modulate gene expression at the MAPT locus

BackgroundSINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposons are hominid-specific elements which have been shown to play important roles in processes such as chromatin structure remodelling and regulation of gene expression demonstrating that these repetitive elements exert regulatory functions. We have previousl...
