Mapping of complex regulatory elements by pufferfish/zebrafish transgenesis.
V hematopoiesis is a richly complex developmental system in which many transcription factors have essential and nonredundant roles (1). Some factors act as prominent controllers of differentiation in specific cell lineages, others are needed for stem cell generation, and others are needed for both. In this system, precise levels of one transcription factor relative to another in the same cell c...
متن کاملIdentification of distal cis-regulatory elements at mouse mitoferrin loci using zebrafish transgenesis.
Mitoferrin 1 (Mfrn1; Slc25a37) and mitoferrin 2 (Mfrn2; Slc25a28) function as essential mitochondrial iron importers for heme and Fe/S cluster biogenesis. A genetic deficiency of Mfrn1 results in a profound hypochromic anemia in vertebrate species. To map the cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) that control expression of the Mfrn genes, we utilized genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) dat...
متن کاملCharacterization of new regulatory elements within the Drosophila bithorax complex
The homeotic Abdominal-B (Abd-B) gene expression depends on a modular cis-regulatory region divided into discrete functional domains (iab) that control the expression of the gene in a particular segment of the fly. These domains contain regulatory elements implicated in both initiation and maintenance of homeotic gene expression and elements that separate the different domains. In this paper we...
متن کاملAdoption of the Q transcriptional regulatory system for zebrafish transgenesis.
The Gal4-UAS regulatory system of yeast is widely used to modulate gene expression in Drosophila; however, there are limitations to its usefulness in transgenic zebrafish, owing to progressive methylation and silencing of the CpG-rich multicopy upstream activation sequence. Although a modified, less repetitive UAS construct may overcome this problem, it is highly desirable to have additional tr...
متن کاملUnderstanding Epistatic Interactions between Genes Targeted by Non-coding Regulatory Elements in Complex Diseases
Genome-wide association studies have proven the highly polygenic architecture of complex diseases or traits; therefore, single-locus-based methods are usually unable to detect all involved loci, especially when individual loci exert small effects. Moreover, the majority of associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms resides in non-coding regions, making it difficult to understand their phenotypi...
