The importance of considering regulatory domains in genome-wide analyses – the nearest gene is often wrong!

open access: yesBiology Open, 2022
The expression of a large number of genes is regulated by regulatory elements that are located far away from their promoters. Identifying which gene is the target of a specific regulatory element or is affected by a non-coding mutation is often ...

Characterization of enhancer fragments in Drosophila robo2

open access: yesFly, 2022
Receptor proteins of the Roundabout (Robo) family regulate axon guidance decisions during nervous system development. Among the three Drosophila robo family genes (robo1, robo2 and robo3), robo2 displays a dynamic expression pattern and regulates ...

Analysis of zebrafish periderm enhancers facilitates identification of a regulatory variant near human KRT8/18

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Genome-wide association studies for non-syndromic orofacial clefting (OFC) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at loci where the presumed risk-relevant gene is expressed in oral periderm.

Genome-wide functional perturbation of human microsatellite repeats using engineered zinc finger transcription factors

open access: yesCell Genomics, 2022
Summary: Repeat elements can be dysregulated at a genome-wide scale in human diseases. For example, in Ewing sarcoma, hundreds of inert GGAA repeats can be converted into active enhancers when bound by EWS-FLI1.

Enhancers in polymeric nonviral gene delivery systems

open access: yesView, 2021
Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic tool for cancers and inherited diseases. For successful gene therapy, gene delivery systems must be designed reasonably to allow DNA or other nuclear acids to be taken up by the cancer cells and then transported to

Effect of the Partial Use of Potato Flour and Enhancers on the Rheological, Nutritional and Cooking Properties of Dried Noodles

open access: yesBiology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022
Wheat flour (WF) was replaced with potato flour (PF) at 10%, 20% and 30% (w/w) in combination with enhancers xanthan gum (XG) and wheat gluten (WG). The flour quality, rheological properties and noodle quality were analyzed.
