Authors found that the Kruppel-like transcription factor ZFP281 plays important roles in recruiting MYC to active promoters in mouse embryonic stem cells. At the genome scale, ZFP281 is broadly associated with MYC, and the depletion of ZFP281 significantly reduces the levels of MYC and RNA polymerase II at the ZFP281- and MYC-cobound genes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
