Hi,
I am working on a gene where I recently found Insertion of CACA in 5'UTR of one of the Rice genes I am working on, with strong phenotypic differences.
Here's the sequence -
'5CTGCACACACACACACACACACTCACACTCACACACGCTCTCAACTCACTCCCGCTCAACACAGCGCTCACTTCTCATCTCCAATCTC 3'
I checked the miRNA binding sites and secondary structure but did not find any differences compared to the reference sequence....
'5CTGCACACACACACACACTCACACTCACACACGCTCTCAACTCACTCCCGCTCAACACAGCGCTCACTTCTCATCTCCAATCTC 3'
I would like to know if CA repeats could affect the gene expression or translation process? or anything particular predictions I could look into?
I am open for any suggestions and discussions. Can provide more information if needed.
thanks
