All of us have
unique faces with unique craniofacial development but we inherit certain
similarities form our parents. A recent study by researchers in Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) found that gene
enhancers are responsible for this unique facial development.
There are thousands of these gene enhancers in our body which are important in craniofacial development. They may be inherited from parents to children.

A deletion of enhancers experiment was carried on mice which show deletions of enhancers relating to craniofacial development lead to alterations in shapes. Thus gene enhancers are vitally important in skull morphology.
