Abstract

We have analyzed the chromatin structure of the human beta-globin locus in somatic cell hybrids resulting from the fusion of human non-erythroid cells and mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. In these hybrids, the human adult beta-globin gene, but neither the embryonic nor fetal globin genes, is activated transcriptionally. In addition, the DNase I-resistant beta-like globin locus characteristic of the parental non-erythroid human cells (1,2) is reorganized over an approximately 80 kb region, including the formation of the developmentally stable hypersensitive sites 50 kb 5' and 20 kg 3' of the activated adult beta-globin gene (2,3). These results are consistent with the hypothesis that events occurring at the 5' and/or 3' developmentally stable hypersensitive sites are important, if not necessary, for the activation of the beta-globin locus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
