Abstract excerpt
Enhancers modulate gene expression by interacting with promoters. Models of enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) in the literature involve the activity of many components, including transcription factors and nucleic acid. However, the role that sequence similarity plays in EPIs remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report that Alu-derived sequences dominate sequence similarity between enhancers and promoters....
