Gene regulation and chromosome architecture are intimately linked. Genes with prominent roles in cell identity are often regulated by clusters of enhancer elements. By contrast, a recent study shows housekeeping genes are often regulated through clustering of promoters. We discuss here new regulatory insights for these two types of genes.
基因调控和染色体结构密切相关。在细胞身份中起重要作用的基因通常受增强子簇的调控。相比之下，最近的一项研究表明，管家基因通常通过启动子簇的聚类来调节。在这里，我们讨论了这两种类型的基因的新的调控见解。
