Экспериментальные подходы к идентификации и картированию ЦИС-регуляторных элементов в протяженных областях генома человека
Диссертация
Следует признать, что, несмотря на серьезные достижения в изучении организации отдельных регуляторных систем (Maston et al. 2006), мы все еще далеки от полного понимания механизмов, управляющих геномом как целым. Даже в относительно простых случаях идентификации геномных элементов, играющих роль г/г/с-регуляторов, мы встречаем серьезные затруднения, требующие для их преодоления длительных усилий… Читать ещё >
