Cis effect

Cis effect (from the Latin cis , this side ') describes an effect on gene expression through cis-acting elements , the effect of which depends on their gene location , i.e. regulatory elements on the same DNA molecule in the immediate vicinity, such as bacterial operators . In contrast to the cis effect, a trans effect occurs through the gene products of regulatory genes (these are RNA or proteins ) regardless of the gene location. The cis-effect can be divided into the effects of activators (cis-activation) and repressors (cis-repression) of gene expression.
