Regulation from a distance

Plant genomes in contrast to animal genomes don’t contain regulatory elements, or so was I led to believe. Now a new study “Two deeply conserved non-coding sequences control PLETHORA1/2 expression and coordinate embryo and root development” shows that plants also have those gene regulatory elements.

Regulatie van een afstand

Plant genomen in tegenstelling tot dierlijke genomen bevatten geen regulatie elementen, dacht it. Nu laat een nieuwe studie “Two deeply conserved non-coding sequences control PLETHORA1/2 expression and coordinate embryo and root development” zien dat ook planten van die gen regulerende elementen hebben.
