When looking into mechanisms that might affect the levels of SMN protein in neurons, the researchers scanned a genomic database called the UCSC Genome Browser and identified two genetic sequences that matched the opposite DNA strand of the SMN gene.

Called SIF - seq, for site - specific integration fluorescence - activated cell sorting followed by sequencing, this new technique complements existing genomic tools, such as ChIP - seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing), and offers some additional benefits.
