In silico analysis of regulatory and structural motifs of the ovine HSP90AA1 gene

Abstract

Gene promoters are essential regions of DNA where the transcriptional molecular machinery to produce RNA molecules is recruited. In this process, DNA epigenetic modifications can acquire a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression. Recently, in a previous work of our group, functional features and DNA methylation involved in the ovine HSP90AA1 gene expression regulation have been observed.
