Intronic enhancers coordinate epithelial-specific looping of the active CFTR locus
6 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
The regulated expression of large human genes can depend on long-range interactions to establish appropriate three-dimensional structures across the locus. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encompasses 189 kb of genomic DNA, shows a complex pattern of expression with both spatial and temporal regulation. The flanking loci, ASZ1 and CTTNBP2, show very different...
