Target gene experiment description: |
The newly released ENCODE phase 3 data, however, includes four aortic artery samples. In these aortic samples, a strong enhancer signal overlies rs9349379 (Figure 2B), spanning 1 kb. 4C-seq from the rs9349379 site demonstrated a smaller contact region that extended from chr6:12,690,00013,350,000. There was a possible area of over-lap intergenic to EDN1 and PHACTR1 (Figure 5A). Notably, this region featured high levels of H3K27Ac signal in ECs, consistent with a super enhancer (Figure 5B). The common contact region contains four distinct peaks of H3K27Ac signal. Reporter assays with each of these four sites cloned into an SV40-driven luciferase plasmid demonstrated that each cis element possessed strong enhancer activity in 293T cells (2- to 12-fold luciferase induction) comparedwith SV40-promoter sequence alone (Figure 5C).;The newly released ENCODE phase 3 data, however, includes four aortic artery samples.
