Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 1CC
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.
