Enhancers control the timing, location and expression levels of their target
genes. Nucleotide variation in enhancers has been shown to lead to numerous
phenotypes, including human disease. While putative enhancer sequences and
nucleotide variation within them can now be detected in a rapid manner using
various genomic technologies, the understanding of the functional consequences of
these variants still remains largely unknown. Massively parallel reporter assays
(MPRAs) can overcome this hurdle by providing the ability to test thousands of
sequences and nucleotide variants within them for enhancer activity en masse.
Here, we describe this technology and specifically focus on how it is being used
to obtain an increased understanding of enhancer regulatory code and grammar.
