The role of the polycomb complex in silencing alpha-globin gene expression in nonerythroid cells.

The role of the polycomb complex in silencing alpha-globin gene expression in nonerythroid cells.

Although much is known about globin gene activation in erythroid cells, relatively little is known about how these genes are silenced in nonerythroid tissues. Here we show that the human alpha- and beta-globin genes are silenced by fundamentally different mechanisms. The alpha-genes, which are surro...
