Enhancer reprogramming in mammalian genomes
2018
Background
Transcription factor binding site (TFBS) loss, gain, and reshuffling within the sequence of a regulatory element could alter the function of that regulatory element. Some of the changes will be detrimental to the fitness of the species and will result in gradual removal from a population, while other changes would be either beneficial or just a part of genetic drift and end up being fixed in a population. This “reprogramming” of regulatory elements results in modification of the gene regulatory landscape during evolution.
