MECHANISMS AND PROTEINS INVOLVED IN LONG-DISTANCE INTERACTIONS

Due to advances in genome-wide technologies, consistent distant interactions within chromosomes of higher eukaryotes have been revealed. In particular, it has been shown that enhancers can specifically and directly interact with promoters by looping out intervening sequences, which can be up to seve...
