启动子是基因的一个重要的组成部分,控制着基因表达(转录)的起始时间和表达的程度。在一项新的研究中,来自美国伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的研究人员首次证实病毒和宿主在它们的启动子上都具有高度类似的调节序列。相关研究结果于在线发表在Nature Communications期刊上,论文标题为“Similarity in viral and host promoters couples viral reactivation Promoters are an important part of a gene that controls the timing of gene expression (transcription) and the degree of expression. In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the first time confirmed that viruses and hosts have highly similar regulatory sequences on their promoters. Relevant findings are published online in the journal Nature Communications, titled ”Similarity in viral and host promoters couples viral reactivation
