An organism's genome contains many sequence regions that perform diverse functions. Examples of such regions include genes, promoters, enhancers, and binding sites for regulatory proteins and RNAs. One of biology's most important open problems is how...
Enhancers are small regions of DNA that bind to proteins, which enhance the transcription of genes. The enhancer may be located upstream or downstream of the gene. It is not necessarily close to the gene to be acted on, because the entanglement struc...
The enhancer is a DNA sequence that can increase the activity of promoters and thus speed up the frequency of gene transcription. The enhancer plays an essential role in activating gene expression. Currently, gene sequencing technology has been devel...
Protein-coding differences between species often fail to explain phenotypic diversity, suggesting the involvement of genomic elements that regulate gene expression such as enhancers. Identifying associations between enhancers and phenotypes is challe...
The analysis of super-enhancers (SEs) has recently attracted attention in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of cancer and other diseases. SEs are genomic structures that strongly induce gene expression and have been reported to contribute to the o...
Super-enhancers are large domains on the genome where multiple short typical enhancers within a specific genomic distance are stitched together. Typically, they are cell type-specific and responsible for defining cell identity and regulating gene tra...
MOTIVATION: Enhancers are vital cis-regulatory elements that regulate gene expression. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), a type of long noncoding RNAs, are transcribed from enhancer regions in the genome. The tissue-specific expression of eRNAs is crucial in th...

Genetic association studies have identified hundreds of independent signals associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related traits. Despite these successes, the identification of specific causal variants underlying a genetic association signal rema...
Enhancers are crucial cis-regulatory elements that control gene expression in a cell-type-specific manner. Despite extensive genetic and computational studies, accurately predicting enhancer activity in different cell types remains a challenge, and t...
Enhancers are DNA regions that are responsible for controlling the expression of genes. Enhancers are usually found upstream or downstream of a gene, or even inside a gene's intron region, but are normally located at a distant location from the genes...
