Abstract
Regulatory elements (REs) consist of enhancers and promoters that occupy a significant portion of the noncoding genome and control gene expression programs either in cis or in trans Putative REs have been identified largely based on their regulatory features (co-occupancy of ESC-specific transcription factors, enhancer histone marks, and DNase hypersensitivity) in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, less has been established regarding their regulatory functions in their native context. We deployed cis- and trans-regulatory elements scanning through saturating mutagenesis and sequencing (ctSCAN-SMS) to target elements within the ∼12-kb cis-region (cis-REs; CREs) of the Oct4 gene locu..
