Dog SINEs
2019-2021
Abstract
Investigation of SINE retrotransposons in dogs and their impact on gene expression, focusing on their role in genomic evolution and regulation.
Methodology
Comparative genomic analysis of SINE elements across dog breeds and other species. Implementation of computational methods to identify and characterize SINE insertions.
Key Findings
Discovery of novel patterns in SINE distribution and their potential regulatory roles. Identification of breed-specific SINE insertions and their functional implications.
Implications
This research provides insights into the role of mobile genetic elements in canine evolution and gene regulation, with potential applications in understanding genetic diseases.
