    Area of Science:

    • Genomics
    • Molecular Biology
    • Epigenetics

    Background:

    • Enhancers are crucial regulatory elements controlling gene expression.
    • Identifying enhancers genome-wide is essential for understanding cellular function and disease.
    • Current methods for enhancer identification are often limited in scale or specificity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel, large-scale strategy for identifying human genomic enhancers.
    • To provide a comprehensive resource of enhancers for further functional studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a high-throughput screening or computational approach.
    • Application of the strategy to the entire human genome.
    • Validation of identified regions using established functional assays.
