DNA’s Hidden Complexity: New Research Challenges Long-Held Beliefs About Gene Switches

The findings from the University of Bonn and LMU Munich challenge previous assumptions. Certain sequences in the genome regulate the activation or deactivation of genes. These regulatory elements, known as enhancers, were traditionally believed to occupy distinct locations on the DNA. As a result, enhancers controlling the same gene but activating it in different parts [...]
