Project description:Repeatome profiling across ovarian, pancreatic, and colorectal cell lines identifies distinct clustering that is independent of tissue of origin highlighting differences in repeat co-expression patterns. Deeper analysis of ovarian cancer cell lines demonstrated that HSATII satellite repeat expression was highly associated with epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and anti-correlated with interferon (IFN) response genes indicative of a more aggressive phenotype.
