“…The evidence that such factories specialize in the transcription of particular groups of genes prompts the speculation that these factories could be targeted for efficient transcription. 124 Although gene therapies have not lived up to hopes voiced for them 19 years ago, 125 research in this topic has nonetheless made a number of useful advances. Principal among these is the accurate definition of the biological hurdles that limit what is achievable and the identification of what appear to be realistic targets for our current technologies.…”

“…The non-coding lacO repeats were found situated in the center of the gene locus, whereas the transcribing sequences were externally positioned, as was seen from the accumulation of the polymerase, transcription factor, splicing factor and mRNAs in a flower-shaped structure surrounding the non-coding region. This structure is reminiscent of the suggested clustering of active genes into dedicated transcription factories, where they are efficiently transcribed on account of the enrichment of the necessary factors in the factory region (Iborra et al, 1996;Pombo et al, 2000;Sutherland and Bickmore, 2009).…”

“…Chromatin controls the accessibility of DNA binding sites to transcription factors, influences the interactions between factors, and controls the subnuclear localization of the various proteins required for transcriptional regulation (27)(28)(29)(30). Using ChIP as a selection method, we have isolated BARX2 binding sites from accessible regions of native chromatin in MCF7 breast cancer cells.…”
