Abstract excerpt
We performed an unbiased experimental search for enhancers and silencers in a 153-kb region containing the human apolipoprotein (APO) E/C1/C4/C2 gene cluster using shotgun cloning into a luciferase vector. A continuum of transcriptional effect sizes was observed, possibly explaining the limited success of bioinformatics in identifying regulatory regions. We identified nine statistically significant enhancers and...
