Gene description: H3K27ac-H3K4me1 hESC enhancer GRCh37_chr2:242784841-242785538
Gene type: biological region
This genomic sequence was predicted to be a transcriptional regulatory region based on chromatin state analysis from the ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project. It was validated as an active enhancer by the ChIP-STARR-seq massively parallel reporter assay in naive human embryonic stem cells, where it is marked by the H3K27ac and H3K4me1 histone modifications. A subregion was also validated as a repressive element by Sharpr-MPRA (Systematic high-resolution activation and repression profiling with reporter tiling using massively parallel reporter assays) in K562 erythroleukemia cells (group: K562 Repressive DNase matched - State 8:EnhW, candidate weak enhancer and open chromatin).
