Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies on the human beta globin gene cluster revealed the presence of intergenic transcripts throughout the locus, and demonstrated that transcription of the locus control region (LCR) initiates within an ERV9 endogenous retroviral long-terminal repeat (LTR) upstream of DNase I hypersensitive site 5. We show, using a combination of assays, that there are additional sites of transcription initiation...
