The „KRAB-ZNF“ initiative is driven by recent observations that KRAB-ZNF genes, an evolutionarily conserved gene family of more than 350 transcriptional repressors encoded in the human genome, are predominantly expressed in testis and fetal brain. To elucidate functions of KRAB ZNF genes in evolution and diseases, experts in KRAB ZNF gene biology (B1/P1), proteomics (B1/P2), systems biology and ag ...
