Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) control gene expression, orchestrating tissue identity, developmental timing and stimulus responses, which collectively define the thousands of unique cell types in body
Abstract Cis -regulatory elements (CREs) control gene expression, orchestrating tissue identity, developmental timing, and stimulus responses, which collectively define the thousands of unique cell types in body. While there is great potential for strategically incorporating CREs therapeutic or biotechnology applications that require specificity, no guarantee an optimal CRE intended purpose has arisen naturally through evolution. Here, we present a platform to engineer validate synthetic...
The origination and diversification of morphological characteristics represents a key problem in understanding the evolution development. Morphological traits result from gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that form web transcription factors, which regulate multiple cis-regulatory element (CRE) sequences to control coordinated expression differentiation genes. formation modification GRNs must ultimately be understood at level individual linkages (i.e., factor binding sites within CREs)...
