Coacting enhancers can have complementary functions within gene regulatory networks and promote canalization. by Leslie Dunipace, Zsuzsa Ákos, Angelike Stathopoulos

“…Developmental genes are often regulated by multiple enhancers exhibiting similar spatiotemporal outputs, which are generally considered redundantly acting though few have been studied functionally. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we created deletions of two enhancers, brk5' and brk3', that drive similar but not identical expression of the gene brinker (brk) in early Drosophila embryos. …”
