In some cases, enhancer-promoter interactions only happened when the gene was expressed, so the physical proximity between ...

Indeed, they specifically increase the expression of a particular gene, where and when this gene is required. Genes controlling morphology often respond to several independent enhancers ...

A new mouse study by researchers at the University of California (UC), San Diego, School of Medicine reveals that an enzyme ...

As cells mature and differentiate (right), they use a much more elaborate and cell-type specific ‘switchboard’ to control their gene expression, especially when compared to earlier ...

This shows that the region contains several non-modular enhancers (blue = strong gene expression; red = weak gene expression). The image may be used in combination with the press release.

Genes also contain regulatory sequences, such as promoters and enhancers, which control when and where the gene is expressed. These sequences interact with transcription factors and other regulatory ...

to learn more about how the Hodges Lab is utilizing the 6-base genome to investigate the dynamics of enhancer DNA methylation during cellular differentiation. During the webinar, she will review: The ...
