Human satellite II is an exceptionally high-copy but unexplored sequence of the human genome thought of as junk DNA has a surprising ability to impact master regulators of our genome, and it goes awry in 50 percent of tumors. Because HSAT-II DNA is normally methylated (a form of gene regulation), it remains dormant in healthy cells. For this reason, the HSAT-II hasn't been extensively studied and has not been thought to have a function. In fact, standard genomic experiments intentionally screen HSAT-II out of the results.
