Increased gain of “low complexity” regulatory domains in duplicated transcription factors
How do duplicated transcription factors, which are initially identical in sequence, specialize to perform diverse functions? We have team up with the group of Susana de la Luna, at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), to try to answer this … Continue reading
