Our understanding of genetic regulation would be improved by better knowledge of regulatory elements known as enhancers, which are not located alongside the genes they control. In a recent paper published in Briefings in Bioinformatics, researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, reviewed the differences between various computational approaches to this problem and outlined some of the major challenges in the field.
