Enhancer RNAs – Definition, Biogenesis, Functions
What is Enhancer RNA? Enhancer RNAs, or eRNAs, are small molecules of non-coding RNA that are transcribed from enhancer loci. They are involved in the regulation of gene transcription and can be used to treat disease. 2010 saw the discovery of enhancer RNAs using high-throughput sequencing to locate stimuli-dependent enhancers. This demonstrated the RNA polymerase … Read more
