The activity and selectivity of transcriptional enhancers determine gene expression patterns that enable a zygote to become a complex organism. How enhancers convey regulatory information is a central conundrum in biology. Here, we discuss recent progress provided by rapidly evolving technologies in understanding enhancer-promoter interactions in the context of overall nuclear genome organization.
转录增强子的活性和选择性决定了基因表达模式，使受精卵能够发育成复杂的生物体。增强子如何传递调控信息是生物学中的一个核心难题。在这里，我们讨论了在整体核基因组组织背景下，通过快速发展的技术在理解增强子-启动子相互作用方面取得的最新进展。
