Potential role for the Metnase transposase fusion gene in colon cancer through the regulation of key genes.

Potential role for the Metnase transposase fusion gene in colon cancer through the regulation of key genes.

The Metnase fusion gene consists of a SET histone methyltransferase domain and a transposase domain from Mariner transposase. This transposable element is involved in chromosome decatenation, enhances DNA repair, promotes foreign DNA integration, and assists topoisomerase II function. This study inv...
