It is common knowledge that malignant tumors present alterations in gene expression with several over or underexpressed genes. Today, we know that many retrocopies are expressed and can regulate the expression of their coding genes or those genes surrounding the site that they are inserted. We hypothesize that retrocopies without a known function can be functional in tumors. (AU)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, with nearly 1 million new cases annually diagnosed. Of these, about 50% of the patients evolve to death mainly due to the development of secondary tumors, metastatic, originated from primary colorectal tumors. Thus, studying genetic variations in secondary tumors is central to understand better tumor progression and to …
Transposable elements were discovered in the 1940s, but their importance in genome composition, evolution and its role as regulatory elements occurred after the development of DNA sequencing methodologies. Those elements can be subdivided in two classes, DNA-transposons and retrotransposons, being the latter our focus of interest. Retrotransposition process is mediated by an enzymatic mac…
