Enhancers are DNA sequences containing multiple transcription factor binding sites, could be present upstream, downstream or within the gene. They are meant to enhance the expression of their target genes. Major features of enhancers are: clusters of transcription factor binding sites, evolutionary conserved non-coding DNA sequence and biochemical marks such as histone modification and chromatin structure. We have used genome-wide approach to identify sequence of the putative enhancer of rhomboid gene in eleven different species of Drosophila viz. melanoagaster, yakuba, ananassae, erecta, grimshawi, mojavensis, persimilis, pseudoobscura, sechellia, virilise and willistoni using genome browser ClusterDraw. Analyses of the cluster formation of dorsal, twist and snail moti.. View More»
