• Ancestrally Duplicated Conserved Noncoding Element Suggests Dual Regulatory Roles of HOTAIR in cis and trans 

      Nepal, Chirag; Taranta, Andrzej; Hadzhiev, Yavor; Pundhir, Sachin; Mydel, Piotr Mateusz; Lenhard, Boris; Müller, Ferenc; Andersen, Jesper B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)
      HOTAIR was proposed to regulate either HoxD cluster genes in trans or HoxC cluster genes in cis, a mechanism that remains unclear. We have identified a 32-nucleotide conserved noncoding element (CNE) as HOTAIR ancient ...

      Spatiotemporal control of gene expression is central to animal development. Core promoters represent a previously unanticipated regulatory level by interacting with cis-regulatory elements and transcription initiation in ...
