title: Gene regulation: it matters who you hang out with.
abstract: How broadly expressed transcription factors contribute to tissue-specific gene expression is not well understood. Andzelm, Cherry et al. (2015) demonstrate that myocyte enhancer factor 2D (MEF2D) binds and activates retina-specific regulatory regions by cooperative interaction with the tissue-specific transcription factor CRX.
