Abstract excerpt
The expression of a variety of vertebrate genes is transcriptionally regulated through tissue-specific cellular enhancer elements. An erythroid-specific enhancer sequence has recently been identified 3' to (downstream of) the chicken adult beta-globin gene. Here we report the identification of a second erythroid-specific enhancer sequence, which is 3' to the chicken histone H5 gene. The similarity of these two...
