Open AccessAn enhancer cluster controls gene activity and topology of the SCN5A-SCN10A locus in vivo
Mutations and variations in and around SCN5A, encoding the major cardiac sodium channel, influence impulse conduction and are associated with a broad spectrum of arrhythmia disorders. Here, we identify an evoluti...

Selective transcriptional regulation by Myc in cellular growth control and lymphomagenesis
Global transcriptional and epigenomic analyses in diverse cell types reveal that the primary action of Myc is to up- and downregulate transcription of distinct groups of genes, rather than to amplify transcrip...
