Abstract excerpt
Locus control regions are cis gene regulatory elements comprised of DNase I-hypersensitive sites. These regions usually do not stimulate transcription outside of a chromosomal context, and therefore their ability to regulate the expression of genes is thought to occur through the modification of chromatin accessibility. A locus control region is located downstream of the T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha/delta locus on...
