Abstract excerpt
The best characterized chromatin insulator in Drosophila is the Suppressor of Hairy wing binding region contained within the gypsy retrotransposon. Although cellular functions have been suggested, no role has been found yet for the multitude of endogenous Suppressor of Hairy wing binding sites. Here we show that two Suppressor of Hairy wing binding sites in the intergenic region between the yellow gene and the...
