   Live-cell imaging reveals enhancer-dependent Sox2 transcription in the absence of enhancer proximity

   Jeffrey M Alexander et al.

   Sox2 transcription is not correlated with spatial proximity of its essential regulatory enhancer in embryonic stem cells, suggesting gene transcription is not limited to periods of direct enhancer-promoter contact.
