Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology - 1 Jan 2015
Ren Bing, Yue Feng
Abstract excerpt
Enhancers play a major role in animal development by modulating spatiotemporal expression of genes. They interact with sequence-specific transcriptional regulators in response to internal and external cues to bring about transcriptional changes, thus serving as the critical link between an organism's genome and its phenotypic traits. Deciphering the biology of enhancers is a key to understanding the genetic basis...
