- Trans-regulatory element
Trans-regulatory elements are species which may modify the expression of genes distant from the gene that was originally transcribed to create them.
They differ from

Cis-regulatory element — A cis regulatory element or cis element is a region of DNA or RNA that regulates the expression of genes located on that same molecule of DNA (often a chromosome). This term is constructed from the Latin word cis, which means on the same side as … Wikipedia
Regulatory sequence — A regulatory sequence (also called a regulatory region or a regulatory area ) is a segment of DNA where regulatory proteins such as transcription factors bind preferentially. These regulatory proteins bind to short stretches of DNA called… … Wikipedia
Cis-regulatory module — (CRM) is a stretch of DNA, usually 100 1000 DNA base pairs in length,[1] where a number of transcription factors can bind and regulate expression of nearby genes. One cis regulatory element can regulate several genes,[2] and conversely, one gene… … Wikipedia
