TL;DR: This work determines how most of the transcriptional regulators encoded in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae associate with genes across the genome in living cells, and identifies network motifs, the simplest units of network architecture, and demonstrates that an automated process can use motifs to assemble a transcriptional regulatory network structure.

TL;DR: An initial map of yeast's transcriptional regulatory code is constructed by identifying the sequence elements that are bound by regulators under various conditions and that are conserved among Saccharomyces species.

TL;DR: These maps take into account changes in nucleosome occupancy at actively transcribed genes and, in doing so, revise previous assessments of the modifications associated with gene expression, providing the foundation for further understanding the roles of chromatin in gene expression and genome maintenance.

TL;DR: The results of expression analysis with MSN2/MSN4 mutants support the model that the Msn2/Msn4 activators induce the common response to environmental change and extend the understanding of the role of activators in effecting this response.

TL;DR: Genome-wide location analysis was used to determine how the yeast cell cycle gene expression program is regulated by each of the nine known cell cycle transcriptional activators, and revealed how the nine transcriptional regulators coordinately regulate global gene expression and diverse stage-specific functions to produce a continuous cycle of cellular events.
