摘要
Enhancer elements act from distal regions to mediate the transcription of genes. A novel combination of FISH and ChIP techniques may provide new insight into the mechanism by which enhancer elements exert their control. Application of the technique to the Hbb (encoding β-globin) locus control region (LCR) suggests that elements of the LCR may be in close proximity to the transcribed β-globin genes.
