Abstract
The transcription factors Foxa1 and Foxa2 promote the specification of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. To better understand their functions, we characterized the Foxa1/2 cis-regulatory network by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing of dopamine neurons using in vitro and in vivo mouse models. The results highlight important mechanisms critical to midbrain dopamine neuron development.
