Abstract excerpt
The organization of the five β-type globin genes on chromosome 11 reflects the timing of expression during erythroid cell development, with the embryonic ε-globin gene being located at the 5' end, followed by the two fetal γ-globin genes, and with the adult β- and δ-globin genes being located at the 3' end. Here, we functionally characterized a DNase I-hypersensitive site (HS) located 4 kb upstream of the...
