Tissue and cancer-specific expression of DIEXF is epigenetically mediated by an Alu repeat

Alu repeats constitute a major fraction of human genome and for a small subset of them a role in gene regulation has been described. The number of studies focused on the functional characterization of particular Alu elements is very limited. Most Alu elements are DNA methylated and then assumed to l...
