Abstract excerpt
The precise spatiotemporal regulation of developmental genes is required for proper organogenesis. Engrailed-1 (En1) is essential for dorsal-ventral patterning during mouse limb development from embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) to E11.5. Previously, we identified the long noncoding RNA locus Maenli, which drives limb-specific En1 expression at E9.5. Here, we uncover two intergenic enhancer elements, LSEE1&2, that are...
