Cis-acting sequences regulating expression of the human alpha-globin cluster lie within constitutively open chromatin.
Current models suggest that tissue-specific genes are arranged in discrete, independently controlled segments of chromatin referred to as regulatory domains. Transition from a closed to open chromatin structure may be an important step in the regulation of gene expression. To determine whether the h...
