A regulatory sequence is a segment of a nucleic acid molecule which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an...

strategies have led to a better understanding of the features of regulatory DNA sequences, the prediction, and the design of synthetic enhancers. Building...

the insulin transcription start site, called the "insulin regulatory sequence". This sequence is made up of several distinct regions with different biochemical...

unit; (2) that genes produce both mRNA and noncoding RNAs; and (3) regulatory sequences control gene expression but are not part of the gene itself. However...

(called enhancers). Regulatory sequences have been known since the late 1960s. The first identification of regulatory sequences in the human genome relied...

important in its function is a regulatory gene, a constantly expressed gene which codes for repressor proteins. The regulatory gene does not need to be in...

Both of these sequence elements are structural regions of DNA that serve as transcriptional regulators.[citation needed] Cis-regulatory modules are one...
