Do All Cells Have The Same Enhancers?

Do All Cells Have The Same Enhancers? Along the linear DNA molecule, enhancers are located non-uniformly in respect to genes, such that some genes reside in enhancer-rich regions of the genome, whereas others have few or no enhancers in their vicinity. How many enhancers do genes have? Evidence to date shows that of the 110,000

Does Every Gene Have An Enhancer?

Does Every Gene Have An Enhancer? Does every gene have an enhancer? Every gene has a promoter, which is the binding site for the basal transcriptional apparatus – RNA polymerase and its co-factors. How many genes have enhancers? The human genome encodes approximately 1700–1900 sequence-specific transcription factors8, and many of them directly bind to enhancers
