blagenes
Blagenes are a hypothetical class of regulatory elements in genetics, theorized to coordinate the expression of multiple genes during development and in response to environmental cues. The term is used in theoretical models and discussions about how gene networks can be integrated and made robust, rather than as a description of a confirmed molecular entity.
The concept was introduced in speculative and modelling literature to explore the idea of a single regulatory
In proposed frameworks, blagenes could function by interacting with multiple promoter regions, modulating chromatin accessibility, or
There is no empirical evidence for blagenes in real organisms, and the concept remains debated. Critics caution
If validated, blagenes could have implications for developmental biology, the evolution of gene networks, and synthetic
