Transfection Assay: Activity of Enhancers
Comparison of a virus with a specific gene and an enhancer, and a virus with a specific gene and no enhancer can reveal the activity of the enhancer by seeing qualitatively how much more of the mRNA is transcribed by the trial with the enhancer present.
Eukaryotic Genes Are Regulated By Many Transcriptional Control Elements
Pretty much the what the heading of this sentence says. Some of elements include the TATA box, the promoter proximal elements, enhancers - and remember enhancers can be anywhere!
Something About Yeast
A common regulatory element that acts like an enhancer in yeast is called UAS. The TATA box in yeast is 90 base pairs from start site. Your life is now complete from knowing these details. :)
