szuperenhancers
A szuperenhancer, more commonly known as a super-enhancer, is a region of the genome that significantly boosts the expression of a specific gene. These elements are clusters of enhancers, which are DNA sequences that can bind to proteins called transcription factors. When transcription factors bind to enhancers, they help regulate the rate at which a gene is transcribed into RNA, and subsequently translated into protein. Super-enhancers are distinguished from typical enhancers by their size and the high density of transcription factors bound to them. This high concentration of binding proteins leads to a much stronger and more consistent activation of the target gene compared to individual enhancers.
Super-enhancers play a crucial role in cell identity and differentiation. They are particularly important in maintaining
