Research Abstract |
We conducted a large-scale analysis of gene expression control in the immune system on the transcriptional and epigenetic level. First, we developed methods for analysing combinatorial regulation by pairs of transcription factors (TFs), and positional preferences of binding of TFs to regulatory regions. Second, we analysed combinatorial binding of TFs to enhancers in dendritic cells. Finally, we performed experiments for genome-wide detection of several histone modifications and RNA polymerase II binding in dendritic cells, and analysed their changes after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide.
