The genome must be highly compacted to fit within eukaryotic nuclei but must be accessible to the transcriptional machinery to allow appropriate expression of genes in different cell …
Gene expression is regulated at multiple levels, and cells need to integrate and coordinate different layers of control to implement the information in the genome. Post-transcriptional …
Information about developmental gene expression resides in defined regulatory elements, called enhancers, in the non-coding part of the genome. Although cells reliably utilize …

Enhancers, silencer and insulators are DNA elements that play central roles in regulation of the genome that are crucial for development and differentiation. In metazoans, these …
Cellular functions including transcription regulation, DNA repair, and DNA replication need to be tightly regulated. DNA sequence can contribute to the regulation of these mechanisms …

It is a truth (almost) universally acknowledged that conserved non-coding genomic sequences function in the cis regulation of neighbouring genes. But is this a misconception …
Transcriptional regulation is achieved through combinatorial interactions between regulatory elements in the human genome and a vast range of factors that modulate the recruitment …
