| Abstract | Background Chromatin architecture is critical for gene expression during development. Matrix attachment regions (MARs) control and regulate chromatin dynamics. The position of MARs in the genome determines the expression of genes in the organism. In this study, we set out to elucidate how MARs temporally regulate the expression of the fibroin heavy chain (FIBH) gene during development. We addressed this by identifying MARs and studying their distribution and differentiation, in the posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori during 5th instar development. Results Of the MARs identified on three different days, 7.15% MARs were common to all 3 days, whereas, 1.41, 19.27 and 52.47% MARs were unique to day 1, day 5, and day 7, respectively highlighting the dynamic nature of the matrix associated DNA. The average chromatin loop length based on the chromosome wise distribution of MARs and the distances between these MAR regions decreased from day 1 (253.91 kb) to day 5 (73.54 kb) to day 7 (39.19 kb). Further significant changes in the MARs in the vicinity of the FIBH gene were found during different days of 5th instar development which implied their role in the regulation and expression of the FIBH gene. Conclusions The presence of MARs in the flanking regions of genes found to exhibit differential expression during 5th instar development indicates their possible role in the regulation of their expression. This reiterates the importance of MARs in the genomic functioning as regulators of the molecular mechanisms in the nucleus. This is the first study that takes into account the tissue specific genome-wide MAR association and the potential role of these MARs in developmentally regulated gene expression. The current study lays a foundation to understand the genome wide regulation of chromatin during development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
