X Abstract

We have analyzed the organization of the chicken alpha-globin gene domain using DNA miniarrays and have found two novel chromatin loop attachment regions. We have found a 40-kb loop domain that includes all the alpha-globin genes in cells of erythroid origin. One of the domain borders colocalizes almost exactly with a strong MAR element and with a block of enhancer-blocking elements found earlier at the upstream end of the alpha-globin gene domain. The domain structure was found to be different in a lymphoid cell line DT40. We propose to use the technique of DNA arrays to map the nuclear matrix attachment sites that define the borders of chromosome loop domains. The technique of DNA arrays permits a large number of DNA sequences to be immobilized on a glass or nylon matrix. This may prove useful for mapping chromatin loop positions within the human genome by using a pool of chromatin loop attachment regions as a probe in a hybridization with a DNA chip containing a specific DNA region.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
