Abstract
The invention features duplicated enhancer domains and enhancer cassettes. The invention also features expression constructs having one or more duplicated enhancer domains and a promoter under the regulation of the duplicated enhancer domains. The expression construct is useful for increasing the expression of any nucleic acid molecule that is operably linked to the expression construct. Accordingly, the invention also features a method for expressing a nucleic acid molecule through the use of an expression construct of the present invention.
