#LongRangeEnhancers
By Marianna Iliadou, Endika Haro and Álvaro Rada (from Álvaro Rada's lab at Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria - IBBTEC).
#LongRangeEnhancers
Have you ever wondered why developmental genes are often regulated by enhancers located at long distances? In this @natgenet.nature.com perspective, we speculate that long-range enhancer positioning may provide regulatory properties essential for proper gene expression

Mechanisms and functional implications of long-range enhancer-dependent gene regulation - Nature Genetics
Development depends on gene regulation by enhancers across long genomic distances. This Perspective discusses mechanisms enabling long-range enhancer–promoter communication and the potential advantage...
