Abstract excerpt
The hematopoietic-restricted transcription factor GATA-1 is required for both mammalian erythroid cell and megakaryocyte differentiation. To define the mechanisms governing its transcriptional regulation, we replaced upstream sequences including a DNase I hypersensitive (HS) region with a neomycin-resistance cassette by homologous recombination in mouse embryonic stem cells and generated mice either harboring...
