title: Transcriptional control: The benefits of selective insulation.
abstract: In eukaryotes, cis-regulatory sequences are often a long way away from the transcription start site, and interactions between regulatory elements can be blocked by 'insulator' sequences. A novel type of cis-regulatory element has now been found that selectively permits some interactions across insulators.
