A Distal Enhancer in the Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) Locus Revealed by Genome Sequence Comparison
30 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Large-scale cross-species DNA sequence comparison has become a powerful tool to identify conserved cis-regulatory modules of genes. However, bioinformatic analysis alone cannot reveal how an evolutionarily conserved region regulates gene expression: whether it functions as an enhancer, silencer, or insulator; whether its function is cell-type restricted; and whether biologically relevant transcription factors...
