Genome architecture of the human beta-globin locus affects developmental regulation of gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

To test the role of gene order in globin gene expression, mutant human beta-globin locus yeast artificial chromosome constructs were used, each having one additional globin gene encoding a "marked" transcript (epsilon(m), gamma(m), or beta(m)) integrated at different locations within the locus. When a beta(m)-globin gene was placed between the locus control region (LCR) and the epsilon-globin gene, beta(m)-globin...
