摘要:
The developmental regulation of the human beta-globin cluster embodies all aspects of transcriptional control of eukaryotic genes. The cis-acting sequences within the cluster, distal regulatory regions and trans-acting factors all contribute to provide stringent temporal and tissue-specific expression. This review will examine the individual regulatory mechanisms which govern globin gene expression and highlight recent advances which expand our understanding of these dynamic interactions.
