Repeat untranscribed DNA sequences are generally thought to be genetic junk at best, harmful at worst, but in ribosomes they are essential to repairing DNA damage, according to a study published this ...

The CT47 repeat array is localized on Xq24 at coordinates chrX: 119 893 246–119 948 579 according to hg18 assembly. The size of the array varies between 4 and 17 units, each unit being 4.8 kb in ...
