Matrix Attachment Regions (MARs) are Thought to Buffer Transgenes
Plant Biotechnology Journal: Matrix attachment regions (MARs) are thought to buffer transgenes from the influence of surrounding chromosomal sequences, and therefore to reduce transgene silencing and variation in expression. The statistical properties of more than 400 independent transgenic events produced in Populus. The results are variable effects of MARs on expression level, variance and stability over time; Effect of MARs on correlated expression of linked GFP and BAR transgenes; effect of MARs on transgene integration and structure.
