Unstable Tandem Repeats in Promoters Confer Transcriptional Evolvability
Open accessAbstract
Genotype, Phenotype, and Variation: Phenotypic evolution results from changes in coding sequences, as well as in regulatory regions of the genome. Vinces et al. (p. 1213 ) uncover an abundant source of gene expression variability in the promoters of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes. Up to 25% of yeast promoter regions contain a highly variable tandem repeat sequence, which effect gene expression and local chromatin structure. The intrinsic instability of these repeats generates variability in gene expression levels and provides a mechanism for rapid evolution of phenotypic traits.

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.
