In details describe the multiple ways in which genes are regulated in eukaryotes - describe how each of the following increases or decreases gene expression: specific histone modifications, DNA methylation, basal transcription factors, transcriptional activator proteins binding at enhancers, and RNA splicing (indicate if gene regulation is increased or decreased by each mechanism). Next, briefly describe at what level gene regulation mainly occurs in bacteria.
