Review Title: | New insights into promoter-enhancer communication mechanisms revealed by dynamic single-molecule imaging |
Abstract: | Establishing cell-type-specific gene expression programs relies on the action of distal enhancers, cis-regulatory elements that can activate target genes over large genomic distances - up to Mega-bases away. How distal enhancers physically relay regulatory information to target promoters has remained a mystery. Here, we review the latest developments and insights into promoter-enhancer communication mechanisms revealed by live-cell, real-time single-molecule imaging approaches. © 2021 The Author(s). |
