Funded Activity Summary

Complete sequencing of the human genome has revealed the positions of approximately 20,000 genes. In addition, nearly 50% of the human genome is comprised of repetitive sequences previously thought of as junk DNA. Numerous studies are now finding that this DNA actually has a variety of important functions, particularly in the control of gene activity. This project will examine the relationships between gene expression and nearby repetitive sequences during the innate immune response in humans.
