Gene Regulation

Inside every cell that makes up a diminutive fruit fly is a vast, dynamic network of information—the genome whose ~15,000 genes allow that cell to function.  In a study recently published as a Breakthrough Article in Nucleic Acids Research (DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkv195), computer scientists and molecular biologists demonstrated the utility of a novel approach to deciphering how networks of genes are regulated.
