A SINE-derived element constitutes a unique modular enhancer for mammalian diencephalic Fgf8.
Transposable elements, including short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs), comprise nearly half the mammalian genome. Moreover, they are a major source of conserved non-coding elements (CNEs), which play important functional roles in regulating development-related genes, such as enhancing and...
