      Mammalian genomes harbor a larger than expected number of complex loci, in which multiple genes are coupled by shared transcribed regions in antisense orientation and/or by bidirectional core promoters. To determine the ...
    • Dissecting the Transcriptional Regulatory Properties of Human Chromosome 16 Highly Conserved Non-Coding Regions 

      Royo, José Luis; Hidalgo, Carmen; Roncero, Yolanda; Seda, María Angeles; Akalin, Altuna; Lenhard, Boris; Casares, Fernando; Gómez-Skarmeta, José Luis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-13)
      Non-coding DNA conservation across species has been often used as a predictor for transcriptional enhancer activity. However, only a few systematic analyses of the function of these highly conserved non-coding regions ...
    • Dynamic regulation of the transcription initiation landscape at single nucleotide resolution during vertebrate embryogenesis 

      Nepal, Chirag; Hadzhiev, Yavor; Previti, A. Christopher; Haberle, Vanja; Li, Nan; Takahashi, Hazuki; Suzuki, Ana Maria; Sheng, Ying; Abdelhamid, Rehab; Anand, Santosh; Gehrig, Jochen; Akalin, Altuna; Kockx, Christel E.M.; van der Sloot, Antoine A.J.; van Ijcken, Wilfred F.J.; Armant, Olivier; Rastegar, Sepand; Watson, Craig; Strähle, Uwe; Stupka, Elia; Carninci, Piero; Lenhard, Boris; Müller, Ferenc (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      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 ...
