ZFP57 regulation of transposable elements and gene expression within and beyond imprinted domains

Abstract Background KRAB zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) represent one of the largest families of DNA-binding proteins in vertebrate genomes and appear to have evolved to silence transposable elements (TEs) including endogenous retroviruses through sequence-specific targeting of repressive chromatin st...
