Method for a genome wide identification of expression regulatory sequences and use of genes and molecules derived thereof for the diagnosis and therapy of metabolic and/or tumorous diseases |
摘要 |
The invention is directed to the use of particular human genes, nucleic acids hybridizing to said genes, and gene products encoded thereby in the context of the diagnosis and/or therapy of metabolic and/or cancerous diseases, preferably of diabetes mellitus and/or colorectal cancer, wherein the gene is selected from the group of the human chromosomal genes having at least one expression regulatory sequence according to matrix 1 ("de novo" HNF4± matrix) in the range of 100000 nucleotides upstream or downstream of their transcription start site in the human genome, and wherein the at least one expression regulatory sequence according to matrix 1 is located within the chromosomal position specified by particular start and end sites. The invention further relates to a method for a genomewide identification of functional binding sites at specifically targeted DNA sequences with high resolution, wherein the method comprises, or preferably consists of, the steps of:
a. chromatin immunoprecipitation and
b. DNA-DNA hybridisation for the
c. de novo identification of gene targets. |
