Single - cell mouse embryos were infected in vitro with recombinant lentiviral vectors to generate transgenic mice carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP)
gene driven by a ubiquitously expressing
promoter.
In a second series of experiments, Fukaya showed that a
single enhancer can activate simultaneously two
genes that are located some distance apart on the genome and have separate
promoters.
When
genes are heavily transcribed, they have a tendency to form
single - stranded DNA loops, called R - loops, near their
promoter.
First, Dr. Shendure described some interesting experiments under way in his lab to elucidate the function of non-coding regulatory variants — specifically,
single nucleotide changes in the core
promoter that alter
gene transcription.
Single - cell experiments show that
gene expression is random and «bursty,» Lin said, a feature that can emerge from slow switching between
promoter states with different activities.
The data indicate that the epigenetic response to maternal care involves not only
single candidate
gene promoters but includes transcriptional and intragenic sequences, as well as those residing distantly from transcription start sites.
