摘要：

Locus control regions are defined as gene regulatory sequences that enable chromosomal position-independent gene expression in transgenic mice. Recent studies have shown the ability of such regions to overcome the highly repressive effect of heterochromatin and have identified both trans-acting and cis-acting factors that participate in gene silencing and activation mechanisms.
