Endogenous gypsy insulators mediate higher order chromatin organization and repress gene expression in Drosophila
Chromatin insulators play a role in gene transcription regulation by defining chromatinboundaries. Genome-wide studies in Drosophila have shown that a large proportion of insulator sites are found in intergenic DNA sequences, supporting a role for these elements as boundaries. However, approximately...
