Analysis of the promoter regions of the genes encoding the steroid hydroxylases has led to the identification of cAMP-responsive elements, but little is known about the mechanism through which PKA mediates the transcription of these target genes.

It is possible to link two sentences together with a semicolon. It is also possible to link two sentences with comma + conjunction (e.g. , and, , or and, but) . Here's the key part: You cannot use just a comma to link two sentences. This is a very common mistake called a run-on error.
