More recently, it has become clear that slight
variations in the
regulatory sequences that determine when a gene is switched on,...
However, several genetic mechanisms — including the evolution of protein - coding
sequences and gene duplication, as well as the evolution of
regulatory sequences — are sources of
variation in all species and contribute to organismal adaptation.

Large - scale genome
sequencing coupled with RNA - seq, however, would provide the opportunity to comprehensively identify and characterize
regulatory variation.
The resulting datasets of
regulatory genomic
sequence will provide a valuable resource in determining how non-coding DNA
sequence variation may impact an individual's capacity to drive appropriate gene expression.
In relation to the association of infant attachment with a promoter polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene, we have mentioned that gene expression may be affected by
variation in the DNA
sequence of the
regulatory region of the gene.
