The selection and function of cell type-specific enhancers
Open accessAbstract
The human body contains several hundred cell types, all of which share the same genome. In metazoans, much of the regulatory code that drives cell type-specific gene expression is located in distal elements called enhancers. Although mammalian genomes contain millions of potential enhancers, only a small subset of them is active in a given cell type. Cell type-specific enhancer selection involves the binding of lineage-determining transcription factors that prime enhancers. Signal-dependent transcription factors bind to primed enhancers, which enables these broadly expressed factors to regulate gene expression in a cell type-specific manner. The expression of genes that specify cell type identity and function is associated with densely spaced clusters of active enhancers known as super-enhancers. The functions of enhancers and super-enhancers are influenced by, and affect, higher-order genomic organization.

“Regardless of any such mechanistic heterogeneity, a common property is that the activity of individual enhancers is generally cell-type-specific or even condition-specific99, and this specificity is a function of the expression levels of the TFs that are able to bind to it89.”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Enhancers are ‘punctate’ relative to broader chromatin domains (e.g. chromosomes, topologically associating domains [G] (TADs) and sub-compartments of TADs87), but their in vivo functionality is dependent on both the chromatin context in which they reside88 and on the trans milieu (e.g. cell-type-specific TFs)89.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
