In addition, some endogenous introns appear to harbor regulatory elements with structural and functional similarities to enhancers, Locus control regions (LCRs), or Matrix attachment regions (MARs) (see Subheading 2.2) which direct transgene expression in a position-independent or cell type-specific fashion (9-17). The experimenter has a certain degree of freedom to tailor transgene design to specific requirements ((3); see also The choice of regulatory elements that drive transgene expression is broad (Fig. 2) , and is primarily determined by the aim of the model. ./cache/cord-007757-4mri8kyq.txt ./txt/cord-007757-4mri8kyq.txt
