Silencer activity leads to a reduction in mesodermal GFP expression relative to negative controls (light green, arrow). Enhancer function of the same sequences manifests as GFP expression in non-mesodermal tissues (dark green, arrowhead). (B,C) Two possibilities for silencer/enhancer bifunctionality.

Enhancers and silencers: an integrated and simple model for their function Petros Kolovos1,2, Tobias A Knoch1,2,3, Frank G Grosveld2, Peter R Cook4 and Argyris Papantonis4* Abstract Regulatory DNA elements such as enhancers , silencers and insulators are embedded in metazoan genomes, and they control gene expression during development.
Silencer DNA sequences are the opposite to enhancer sequences. They decrease or suppress the rate of transcription. Insulator DNA sequences are located between enhancer and silencer sequences and, as there name suggests, they prevent a gene from being transcribed non-specifically by another gene’s enhancer .>> wow!!!, Winoto A, Baltimore D.
