Introduction and Findings The discovery and validation of human transcriptional silencer elements are scarce. The lack of advance techniques and understanding of their characteristics have resulted in only a handful of silencer discoveries for genes such as human synapsin I, BDNF and CD4. This is in contrast to enhancers and “super-enhancers” of the human genome
