Transcriptional silencing of γ-globin by BCL11A involves long-range interactions and cooperation with SOX6

The developmental switch from human fetal (γ) to adult (β) hemoglobin represents a clinically important example of developmental gene regulation. The transcription factor BCL11A is a central mediator of γ-globin silencing and hemoglobin switching. Here we determine chromatin occupancy of BCL11A at t...
