  • Distant-acting tissue-specific enhancers vastly outnumber protein-coding genes in mammalian genomes, but the functional significance of this regulatory complexity remains insufficiently understood1,2. Here we show that the pervasive presence of multiple enhancers with similar activities near the same gene confers phenotypic robustness to loss-of-function mutations in individual enhancers. We used genome editing to create 23 mouse deletion lines and inter-crosses, including both single and combinatorial enhancer deletions at seven distinct loci required for limb development. Surprisingly, none of ten deletions of individual enhancers caused noticeable changes in limb morphology. In contrast, removal of pairs of limb enhancers near the same gene resulted in discernible phenotypes, indicating that enhancers function redundantly in establishing normal morphology. In a genetic background sensitized by reduced baseline expression of the target gene, even single enhancer deletions caused limb abnormalities, suggesting that functional redundancy is conferred by additive effects of enhancers on gene expression levels. A genome-wide analysis integrating epigenomic and transcriptomic data from 29 developmental mouse tissues revealed that mammalian genes are very commonly associated with multiple enhancers that have similar spatiotemporal activity. Systematic exploration of three representative developmental structures (limb, brain, heart) uncovered more than a thousand cases in which five or more enhancers with redundant activity patterns were found near the same gene. Taken together, our data indicate that enhancer redundancy is a remarkably widespread feature of mammalian genomes and provides an effective regulatory buffer preventing deleterious phenotypic consequences upon loss of individual enhancers.
