Site-specific gene editing is of great importance in precise medicine. Two conventional genome editing methods, Zine finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases(TALENs), are based on pr...

High mobility group (HMG) proteins are abundant non-histone proteins in the nuclei of eukaryocytes. It has been shown that HMG proteins may play important roles in the structure and function of chromatin. In the prese...
In previous studies, we found that EDRF2 was an erythroid differentiation related factor, whose expression was markedly upregulated during erythroid differentiation. It suggested that this factor played a role in eryt...
By electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), the effect of point mutation C→T at - 64 of human δ-globin gene on its binding proteins has been studied. Two segments of 36 bp from - 83- - 48 bp of the 6 globin gene...

The human ε-globin gene is expressed in a tissue-specific and developmental stage-specific manner. During the earliest stage of gestation, this gene is expressed in the yolksac, but is silenced completely at the 6th-...

β-Thalassemia is a common monogenic blood disorder, caused by the mutations in the β-globin locus. This letter reports a new type of β thalassemia mutation that we encountered during the investigation of the molecu...
β-Thalassemia is a relatively common monogenic disorder in China. Up to the present, over 60 different mutations have been found to cause β-thalassemia in the world; and each ethnic group or population carries its o...
DNA analysis has become the method of choice for diagnosis of many genetic disorders. In 1978 Kan and Dozy described the first useful restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the β globin gene cluster which...
It has been demonstrated that there are multiple opioid receptors in the brain of animals and men. The relationship between various subtype receptors and their physiological functions and the true biochemical basis ab...
The polymorphism of 8 restriction endonuclease sites in Ghinese β-globin gene cluster and the haplotype were determined in ten normal subjects and fifteen patients with β-thalassemia major and their parents. The fre...
