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...
