The proper activities of enhancers and gene promoters are essential for coordinated
transcription within a cell. Although diverse methodologies have been developed to identify …

Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to cis-
regulatory elements in promoter and enhancer DNA. While studies of TF–DNA binding have …

DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) are generic markers of regulatory DNA,,,–and contain
genetic variations associated with diseases and phenotypic traits,–. We created high …

Large genome-map** consortia and thousands of genome-wide association studies have
identified non-protein-coding elements in the genome as having a central role in various …

Multi-omics approaches have become a reality in both large genomics projects and small
laboratories. However, the multi-omics research community still faces a number of issues …

The term'super-enhancer'has been used to describe groups of putative enhancers in close
genomic proximity with unusually high levels of Mediator binding, as measured by chromatin …

The eukaryotic genome is organized in the three-dimensional nuclear space in a specific
manner that is both a cause and a consequence of its function. This organization is partly …

DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) are markers of regulatory DNA and have underpinned
the discovery of all classes of cis-regulatory elements including enhancers, promoters …

Enhancer elements function as the logic gates of the genetic regulatory circuitry. One of their
most important functions is the integration of extracellular signals with intracellular cell fate …

The vast non-coding portion of the human genome is full of functional elements and disease-
causing regulatory variants. The principles defining the relationships between these …
