New research, 'Global transcriptional regulation of the locus encoding the skeletal muscle determination genes Mrf4 and Myf5,' is the subject of a report. "The linked Mrf4 and Myf5 genes encode two transcription factors essential for the determination and differentiation of skeletal muscle in the embryo. The locus is controlled by a multitude of interdigitated enhancers that activate gene expression at different times and in precisely defined progenitor cell populations," scientists in London, the United Kingdom report.
"Manipulation of the enhancer-promoter composition of the locus reveals a novel mechanism for the regulation of such a gene cluster. Enhancers,...
