DNA sequences that regulate expression of the insulin gene are located within a region spanning ~400 bp that flank the transcription start site. This region, the insulin promoter, contains a ...

Back in 1985, the first genetic "fingerprint" was a miracle of science. Today, DNA analysis is standard practice for defining paternity or maternity, predisposition to disease, embryonic health ...

[101] This sequence, which is known to induce DNA curvature, may serve to bring together proteins that bind at sites flanking this motif. Examination of the other insulin promoters reveals that ...
