A new approach for studying gene regulation by distant DNA elements in transgenic mice. Expression of bacterial artificial chromosomes modified by RARE cleavage reveals that apolipoprotein B gene expression in the intestine is controlled by DNA sequences located more than 50 kb 5' to the structural gene
