ChIP-seq accurately predicts tissue-specific activity of enhancers

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of chromatin immunoprecipitation with the enhancer-associated protein p300 followed by massively parallel sequencing, and map several thousand in vivo binding sites of p300 in mouse embryonic forebrain, midbrain and limb tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

ChIP-Seq identification of weakly conserved heart enhancers

TL;DR: Transgenic mouse assays of 130 candidate regions revealed that most function reproducibly as enhancers active in the heart, irrespective of their degree of evolutionary constraint, suggesting that the evolutionary conservation of embryonic enhancers can vary depending on tissue type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human-specific gain of function in a developmental enhancer.

TL;DR: In transgenic mice, a conserved noncoding sequence (HACNS1) that evolved extremely rapidly in humans acted as an enhancer of gene expression that has gained a strong limb expression domain relative to the orthologous elements from chimpanzee and rhesus macaque.
