Abstract excerpt
This work examines the involvement of chromatin looping in the transcriptional regulation of two epialleles of the maize (Zea mays) b1 gene, B-I and B'. These two epialleles are tissue-specifically regulated and are involved in paramutation. B-I and B' are expressed at high and low levels, respectively. A hepta-repeat approximately 100 kb upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) is required for both...
