Decoding Gene Enhancers with DNA Language Models: A Survey of Methods, Limitations, and Prospects

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Gene enhancers are DNA elements located away from the genes they regulate, yet they control when and where those genes are expressed and are crucial for development, cell identity, and disease. Because their sequence patterns are not always strong, their effects can span long genomic distances, and their activity is highly tissue-specific, they are difficult to identify, especially in cancer, where enhancer reprog...
