Conclusion

The 5' cis-regulatory element known as TAGteam functions as an enhancer during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Supporting Evidence

  • This element was previously named TAGteam.
  • The authors provide functional evidence for the element's role as an enhancer.

Takeaway

Scientists found that a specific DNA element helps activate genes when a Drosophila embryo starts developing.
