New insights into the generation and role of de novo mutations in health and disease

R Acuna-Hidalgo, JA Veltman, A Hoischen - Genome biology, 2016 - Springer
Aside from inheriting half of the genome of each of our parents, we are born with a small
number of novel mutations that occurred during gametogenesis and postzygotically. Recent …

H3K27me3-rich genomic regions can function as silencers to repress gene expression via chromatin interactions
