Enhancers control the timing, location and expression levels of their target genes. Nucleotide variation in enhancers has been shown to lead to numerous phenotypes …
Candidate enhancers can be identified on the basis of chromatin modifications, the binding of chromatin modifiers and transcription factors and cofactors, or chromatin accessibility …

Enhancers are important genomic regulatory elements directing cell type-specific transcription. They assume a key role during development and disease, and their …
Enhancers are genetic elements that regulate spatiotemporal gene expression. Enhancer function requires transcription factor (TF) binding and correlates with histone modifications …
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) balances gene expression between the sexes in female mammals. Shortly after fertilization, upregulation of Xist RNA from one X chromosome …
M Levo, E Segal - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2014 - nature.com
Instructions for when, where and to what level each gene should be expressed are encoded within regulatory sequences. The importance of motifs recognized by DNA-binding …
