... were reported. The tremendous effort put into sequencing and assembling these genome sequences is a prerequisite to furthering our understanding of genetic information and its role in development, disease, and evolution. One of the first insights from comparative genomics was unexpected, namely, that the majority of human genes have a single identifiable ortholog in other vertebrate species (3, 4). Because of the combination of ... observed for CEBPA and HNF4A. CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an almost ubiquitously expressed DNA-binding protein that can divide transcriptional domains and...
