Chromosome looping at the human alpha-globin locus is mediated via the major upstream regulatory element (HS -40).

Previous studies in the mouse have shown that high levels of alpha-globin gene expression in late erythropoiesis depend on long-range, physical interactions between remote upstream regulatory elements and the globin promoters. Using quantitative chromosome conformation capture (q3C), we have now ana...
