Comparison of typical enhancers and super-enhancers
Super-enhancers are enriched with more transcription factors, Mediator complexes, and RNA Pol II molecules than typical enhancers. Hence, super-enhancers have higher transcription activity levels than typical enhancers. Super-enhancers activate cell identity–related gene expression programs.
TF: transcription factor
Pol II: RNA polymerase II
