    Large-scale analysis of the integration of enhancer-enhancer signals by promoters

    Miguel Martinez-Ara, Federico Comoglio, Bas van Steensel
    A high-throughput enhancer-enhancer-promoter reporter assay indicates that pairs of enhancers generally activate promoters in a near-additive manner, and that promoters transform their collective effect non-linearly.
