The cistrome response to hypoxia in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Hypoxic stress triggers transcriptional signaling mainly through hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs), which bind hypoxia response elements (HREs) in gene regulatory regions. However, only a small proportion (~1%) of known HREs are occupied by HIFs during hypoxia, suggesting the involvement of additional hypoxia-responsive factors. To address this gap, we utilized MNase-defined cistrome…
