Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) have emerged as an important component of transcriptional activation. In this issue, Mousavi et al. (2013) have uncovered a critical role for eRNAs in regulation of myogenic differentiation program through increasing chromatin accessibility at MyoD and MyoG loci.
增强子 RNA(eRNA)已成为转录激活的一个重要组成部分。在本期杂志中,Mousavi 等人(2013)揭示了 eRNA 通过增加 MyoD 和 MyoG 基因座上的染色质可及性,在调节成肌分化程序中的关键作用。
