Distinct epigenetic domains separated by a CTCF bound insulator between the tandem genes, BLU and RASSF1A.
BACKGROUND: Tumor suppressor gene (TSG) RASSF1A and candidate TSG BLU are two tandem head-to-tail genes located at 3p21.3. We hypothesized that there may be a concordance on their gene expression and promoter methylation status. If not, then there may be an insulator located between RASSF1A and BLU...
