TLDR
Two recent papers demonstrated the role of bifunctional transcription factors, such as NC2 (Dr1-Drap1), in the broader context of genetic network regulation, and the existence of shared activating sequences will certainly raise several fundamental questions about computational strategies designed to identify gene regulatory sequences.

Enhancement of the stability of genetic switches by overlapping upstream regulatory domains.

TL;DR: The results suggest that robustness against biochemical noise can provide a selection pressure that drives operons together in the course of evolution.

TL;DR: This research has revealed effective methods for the analysis of, and has discovered patterns of order in the locations of genes within genomes, in a broad database of phylogenetic trees.

A computational analysis of whole-genome expression data reveals chromosomal domains of gene expression.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in certain chromosomal expression domains, an UAS can affect the transcription of genes that are not immediately downstream from it.

A Basal Transcription Factor That Activates or Represses Transcription

TL;DR: The studies reveal that NC2 (Dr1-Drap1) is a bifunctional basal transcription factor that differentially regulates gene transcription through DPE or TATA box motifs.
