Some transcriptional enhancers work best with one type of promoter, while ignoring others. How widespread is such specificity across the genome? A new study finds that, in a fair fight, most enhancers prefer to activate promoters resembling those of their parent genes.
一些转录增强子与一种启动子配合效果最佳,而对其他启动子则不予理会。这种特异性在全基因组中普遍程度如何?一项新研究发现,在公平竞争的情况下,大多数增强子更倾向于激活与其亲本基因的启动子相似的启动子。
