Fig. 2. Location and functional characterization of a putative novel craniofacial superenhancer.

Fig. 2

a Region of human chromosome 7 containing a large 500 kb window lacking any annotated protein-coding genes with extensive enrichment of activated enhancer (yellow and orange) and transcriptionally active (green) segment annotations in human craniofacial tissue. CS (Carnegie stage). Locations of human embryonic craniofacial superenhancers (heCFSE) are represented by orange bars, human embryonic heart superenhancers (heHSE) by dark pink bars and superenhancers found in the dbSuper database by black bars. b Enlargement of two superenhancers with multiple validated craniofacial enhancer segments. Enhancers with mm or hs designations were identified through the Vista Enhancer Browser (c). In this study we tested and validated the craniofacial enhancer activity of HACNS50, located within the bivalent chromatin state at the right of the enlargement.
