Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Background: The Dorsal transcription factor regulates the dorsal-ventral developmental gene regulatory network by binding to enhancers. Results: The core promoters of multiple Dorsal target genes are evolutionarily conserved and functionally dependent on specific elements. Conclusion: The core promoter composition is an important determinant of the transcriptional outcome. Significance: Transcriptional regulation results from an interplay between enhancers and core promoter composition.
