This genomic region includes an enhancer that was validated by the ChIP-STARR-seq massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) in primed human embryonic stem cells, where it associates with the OCT4 and NANOG transcription factors and is marked by the H3K27ac histone modification. This locus also includes an accessible chromatin subregion that was validated as an enhancer based on its ability to activate an origin of replication minimal core promoter by the ATAC-STARR-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing) MPRA in GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells.
