Enhancers on Trans

This process is called transvection, if one chromosome contains an enhancer while the gene it regulates in on another chromosome if they come into close proximity the enhancer will regulate the expression of the gene. one way to test this is to make two transgenes, one that contain a wild type and another that contains a mutant enhancer. You would put these two transgenes into a strain that contains a reporter gene. If the wild type enhancer regulates the reporter gene on'\ a separate transgene than you have proven the concept of transvection.

What would you use as a control for this experiment???
