      Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute the majority of transcripts in the mammalian genomes, and yet, their functions remain largely unknown. As part of the FANTOM6 project, we systematically knocked down the expression ...
    • Loss of epigenetic suppression of retrotransposons with oncogenic potential in aging mammary luminal epithelial cells 

      Senapati, Parijat; Miyano, Masaru; Sayaman, Rosalyn W.; Basam, Mudaser; Leung, Amy; LaBarge, Mark; Schones, Dustin E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      A primary function of DNA methylation in mammalian genomes is to repress transposable elements (TEs). The widespread methylation loss that is commonly observed in cancer cells results in the loss of epigenetic repression ...
