English term

Enhancer RNA

English to Chinese Medical Medical (general)
Example 1: Enhancer RNAs, or eRNAs, are short non-coding RNA molecules that are transcribed from the loci of enhancers. They are involved in the regulation of gene transcription and can be a therapeutic target for diseases (https://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/What-is-Enhancer-...

Example 2: Another application is the editing of long nonencoded RNAs (lncRNAs) and enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) that can control gene expression and epigenome processes. In a study, eRNA-expression factors and IncRNA-expression enhancers were suppressed by stimulating deletion mutations in a lymphoma cell line using CRISPR-Cas9 (Pefanis et al., 2015) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7129066/)

What's the commonly accepted translation for this term in mainland China: 强化子RNA or 强化子核糖核酸? I Googled "强化子核糖核酸", but the search returned no results. If Enhancer = 强化子, and RNA = 核糖核酸,shouldn't enhancer RNA = 强化子核糖核酸?Thanks in advance!

增强子RNA

enhancer更多见的译法是“增强子” (170k Google hits),比“强化子”常见一些 (47k Google hits)

而RNA很多时候都不译出,直接用缩写。所以就是“增强子RNA” (4,600 Google hits)
