Because human chromosomes 20, 21 and 22 have been finished and annotated, we used the number of CSEs and protein-coding genes in these three chromosomes and the number of total CSEs to estimate: first, the number of the human and mouse homologous genes that share at least one CSE; and second, the total number of the human genes.
Some insulator-binding proteins localize to a few hundred chromosomal positions, and these positions coincide with genomic sequences that are not heavily compacted by chromatin structure (the 'interbands' of polytene chromosomes) [ 3].

Replication enhancers in fruit flies control the programmed amplification (extra rounds of replication in non-cycling cells) of chorion gene clusters on the third and X chromosomes.
Even in the well-finished and annotated human chromosomes, such as 20 and 22, some long intergenic region CSEs can still be found.
