Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the mechanism, structural correlates, and cis-acting elements involved in chromatin opening and gene activation, using the human beta-globin locus as a model. Full transcriptional activity of the human beta-globin locus requires the locus control region (LCR), composed of a series of nuclease hypersensitive sites located upstream of this globin gene cluster. Our previous analysis of naturally...
