Assessing modularity of developmental enhancers in Drosophila melanogaster

Assessing modularity of developmental enhancers in Drosophila melanogaster

Gene expression is critical for animal development as cells divide and differentiate into multiple cell types. Cell-type specific gene expression is controlled by enhancers, DNA sequences that can direct expression of a target gene from hundreds of kilobases away. Gene promoters contact at least t...
