About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0858
Species: human
Position : chr16:67559614-67561614
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Tumour
Pubmed ID:  33196849
Enhancer experiment: RNA extraction, library construction and Illumina sequencing (RNA SEQ)
Enhancer experiment description: Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we identified for the first time that neurotensin (NTS) serves as a key oncogene in uveal melanoma and that CTCF interacts with the upstream enhancer of NTS and orchestrates an 800 kb chromosomal loop between the promoter and enhancer.

About Target gene

Target gene : --
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we identified for the first time that neurotensin (NTS) serves as a key oncogene in uveal melanoma and that CTCF interacts with the upstream enhancer of NTS and orchestrates an 800 kb chromosomal loop between the promoter and enhancer.

About TF

TF experiment: RNA ???????? Illumina ?? ?RNA-seq?
TF experiment description: Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we identified for the first time that neurotensin (NTS) serves as a key oncogene in uveal melanoma and that CTCF interacts with the upstream enhancer of NTS and orchestrates an 800 kb chromosomal loop between the promoter and enhancer.

About Function

Enhancer function : Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we identified for the first time that neurotensin (NTS) serves as a key oncogene in uveal melanoma and that CTCF interacts with the upstream enhancer of NTS and orchestrates an 800 kb chromosomal loop between the promoter and enhancer.
