Eμ and 3′RR IgH enhancers show hierarchic unilateral dependence in mature B-cells

Abstract Enhancer and super-enhancers are master regulators of cell fate. While they act at long-distances on adjacent genes, it is unclear whether they also act on one another. The immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus is unique in carrying two super-enhancers at both ends of the constant gene clu...
