Gene regulation: Piecing together the puzzle of enhancer evolution

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

The sequences of some gene regulatory elements diverge considerably, even between closely related species. A detailed analysis of the fast-evolving sparkling enhancer in Drosophila now identifies key compensatory mechanisms and 'grammar' elements that are critical for maintaining functional integrity.
