Two promoters integrate multiple enhancer inputs to drive wild-type knirps expression in the D. melanogaster embryo

The paper investigates how multiple promoters in the Drosophila knirps locus integrate enhancer inputs, revealing promoter-specific enhancer preferences and the role of redundancy in gene expression.

Molecular competition can shape enhancer activity in the Drosophila embryo

The paper investigates how transgenic reporters affect enhancer activity and endogenous gene expression in Drosophila embryos, finding inhibitory effects and competition for transcription factors.

Shadow enhancers suppress input transcription factor noise through distinct regulatory logic

The paper shows shadow enhancers reduce transcription factor noise by separating TF inputs, leading to more stable gene expression across temperature changes.
