Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why HOTAIR binds to the target gene.

Introduction: HOTAIR (Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA) is a type of ncRNA which has the function of gene repression through prevention of transcription of proteins. HOTAIR is encoded by a gene which is present in the HoxC gene cluster.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why HOTAIR does not bind next to every gene.
