The hypothetical blocking factor is predicted to bind to sequences within the XIC.

FOX gene products are transcription factors, meaning that they bind to specific sequences of DNA, and can regulate the expression of genes.

FISH uses fluorescent probes to bind to specific sequences of the chromosomes that will cause the chromosomes to fluoresce a unique color.

Usually 25 bases in length, they bind to complementary sequences of RNA by standard nucleic acid base-pairing.

This domain binds to sequences in promoters and enhancers of many genes.

The amount of deformation is such that binding to homologous DNA sequences only slightly decreases, while binding to wrong sequences decreases significantly.

CTCF's ability to bind to multiple sequences through the usage of various combinations of its zinc fingers earned it the status of a "multivalent protein".

The activity of genes is governed by transcription factors, which bind to specific sequences of DNA units that lie close to the gene.

However, p35 did not bind to random AT rich sequences.

However, POU domain proteins have also been found to bind to sequences clearly different from the octamer motif (28,32-34).
