DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2021.02.016
Abstract: Each language has standard books describing that language's grammatical rules. Biologists have searched for similar, albeit more complex, principles relating enhancer sequence to gene expression. Here, we review the literature on enhancer grammar. We introduce… read more here.
