TL;DR: In this article, the ESC master transcription factors form unusual enhancer domains at most genes that control the pluripotent state, called super-enhancers, which consist of clusters of enhancers that are densely occupied by the master regulators and Mediator.

TL;DR: The super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that define cell identity and play key roles in human cell identity in health and in disease as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work determines how most of the transcriptional regulators encoded in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae associate with genes across the genome in living cells, and identifies network motifs, the simplest units of network architecture, and demonstrates that an automated process can use motifs to assemble a transcriptional regulatory network structure.

TL;DR: This work investigates how inhibition of the widely expressed transcriptional coactivator BRD4 leads to selective inhibition ofThe MYC oncogene in multiple myeloma (MM), and finds that super-enhancers were found at key oncogenic drivers in many other tumor cells.
