Functional anatomy of distant-acting mammalian enhancers.

Transcriptional enhancers are a major class of functional element embedded in the vast non-coding portion of the human genome. Acting over large genomic distances, enhancers play critical roles in the tissue and cell type-specific regulation of genes, and there is mounting evidence that they contribute to the aetiology of many human diseases. Methods for genome-wide mapping of enhancer regions ...

Functional autonomy of distant-acting human enhancers.

Many human genes are associated with dispersed arrays of transcriptional enhancers that regulate their expression in time and space. Studies in invertebrate model systems have suggested that these elements could function as discrete and independent regulatory units, but the in vivo combinatorial properties of vertebrate enhancers remain poorly understood. To explore the modularity and regulator...

Tissue-Specific RNA Expression Marks Distant-Acting Developmental Enhancers

Short non-coding transcripts can be transcribed from distant-acting transcriptional enhancer loci, but the prevalence of such enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) within the transcriptome, and the association of eRNA expression with tissue-specific enhancer activity in vivo remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the expression dynamics of tissue-specific non-coding RNAs in embryonic mouse tissues via...

From 'acting on' to 'acting with': the functional anatomy of object-oriented action schemata.

In this chapter it is proposed that object-based actions can be broadly classified into types. In the first, objects are 'acted on' without a specific purpose. In the second, objects are 'acted with'. In the latter case the grasp reflects the subsequent goal of the subject. Recent evidence from human functional imaging suggests different neural substrates for acting on an object (dorsal parieta...

Introduction to the functional anatomy of the mammalian motor unit.

The main function of skeletal muscles is production of force in a controlled manner. Force is generated by highly specialized cells, the muscle fibres, by the interaction between their two main constituents, i.e. myosin and actin. In mammalian skeletal muscle fibres the actin and myosin molecules are neatly aligned to form sarcomeres. Several such units are connected along the longitudinal axis...
