Discovery of widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites predictable by sequence-based deep neural network

Discovery of widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites predictable by sequence-based deep neural network

Mammalian genomes are scattered with repetitive sequences, but their biology remains largely elusive. Here, the authors show that transcription can initiate from short tandem repetitive sequences, and that genetic variants linked to human diseases are preferentially found at repeats with high transc...
