Abstract excerpt
The murine beta-globin locus control region (LCR) was deleted from its native chromosomal location. The approximately 25 kb deletion eliminates all sequences and structures homologous to those defined as the human LCR. In differentiated ES cells and erythroleukemia cells containing the LCR-deleted chromosome, DNasel sensitivity of the beta-globin domain is established and maintained, developmental regulation of...
