Abstract

Gene enhancers on the map The relative role of promoters, enhancers and other regulatory DNA elements in determining cell-type-specific gene expression is poorly understood. Now a chromatin-immunoprecipitation-based microarray (ChIP-chip) method has been used to generate maps of histone modifications at promoters and enhancers in several different human cell lines. The modification patterns at promoters are found to be largely invariant between cell types, whereas the patterns at most enhancers are specific to a single cell type and correlate with cell-type-specific gene expression.
