Abstract excerpt
Gene regulation involves various cis-regulatory elements that can act at a distance. They may physically interact each other or with their target genes to exert their effects. Such interactions are beginning to be uncovered in the imprinted Igf2/H19 domain.(1) The differentially methylated regions (DMRs), containing insulators, silencers and activators, were shown to have physical contacts between them. The...
