Enhancer Properties: Distance and Orientation Independence Modularity and Tissue Specificity

The specific properties that make enhancer variants hard to assign to genes and to cell types.

Questions this Concept answers

Why does an enhancer's distance independence make identifying its target gene by proximity alone unreliable?

Coactivators, Corepressors, and Chromatin Remodeling in Eukaryotic Transcriptional Regulation

Eukaryotic transcriptional regulation extends bacterial models of DNA-binding activators and repressors by adding an indirect, cooperative layer of coactivators and corepressors that do not themselve…
