We also showed in a 2015 manuscript that the RREB1 site CCCCCACCC, also has a modest effect on HbF reactivation.

We have applied this to ~4000 DNase I and >10,000 ATAC-seq (publicly available on SRA) datasets, and it seems to pass the "taste-test" as we call it. Maybe sometime in the future we will write this up -- though don't hold your breath 😂.

Here is slide demonstrating how it works w.r.t. to the highly aneuploid, yet very commonly used cell-line K562.

Of course. We first segment the genome by background (a proxy for copy number variation) and then call peaks.
