摘要
The assembly of antigen receptor genes in developing lymphocytes through V(D)J recombination is regulated through a mostly undefined but broadly relevant process referred to as 'accessibility'. New findings raise the possibility that wide-ranging, antisense transcription through unrearranged antigen receptor loci could be involved in modulating recombinational accessibility.
