I began investigating the DNA regulatory elements of mouse Tyr gene thanks to a paper from Beatrice Mintz’s lab in 1991 that put us in the right track to find out the 5’ boundary element of this locus. Hence, her work was essential for my scientific career.
I am most thankful🐭 https://t.co/TjVV81e3Am
