title: Exploring transcriptional regulatory networks in the worm.
abstract: Using a yeast one-hybrid assay, Deplancke et al. (2006) report in this issue a protein-DNA interaction network for 72 gene promoters and 117 regulatory proteins expressed in cells of the nematode digestive tract. This study is a first step toward mapping transcriptional regulatory networks in distinct metazoan cell lineages and organs using a "gene-centered" approach.
