[HTML][HTML] Absence of a simple code: how transcription factors read the genome

…, L Yang, ACD Machado, R Gordân, R Rohs - Trends in biochemical …, 2014 - cell.com
Transcription factors (TFs) influence cell fate by interpreting the regulatory DNA within a
genome. TFs recognize DNA in a specific manner; the mechanisms underlying this specificity …
