The structural complexity of the human BORIS gene in gametogenesis and cancer.

The structural complexity of the human BORIS gene in gametogenesis and cancer.

BORIS/CTCFL is a paralogue of CTCF, the major epigenetic regulator of vertebrate genomes. BORIS is normally expressed only in germ cells but is aberrantly activated in numerous cancers. While recent studies demonstrated that BORIS is a transcriptional activator of testis-specific genes, little is ge...
