Regulation of nucleosome landscape and transcription factor targeting at tissue-specific enhancers by BRG1Gangqing Hu
Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
Genome Res 21:1650-8. 2011..Intriguingly, we find that the nucleosome shifting specifically facilitates binding of TAL1 but not GATA1 and is linked to subsequent transcriptional regulation of target genes...
