This chapter describes the techniques our lab has used to find the multiple promoters present in individual KIR genes. Our previous studies in the murine Ly49 gene family led us to expect the presence of distal promoters, antisense transcripts, and bi-directional promoters in the KIR gene cluster. We present here all of the techniques used to systematically determine if a gene possesses these types of control elements.
