Abstract excerpt
A challenging question in genetics is to understand the molecular function of non-coding variants of the genome. By using differential EMSA, ChIP and functional genome analysis, we have found that changes in transcription factors (TF) apparent binding affinity and dissociation rates are responsible for allele specific assembly or disruption of master TFs: we observed that NF-KBp50, NF-KBp65 and HIF1a bind with an...
