A family of transcription factors connecting phytochrome signaling to growth and development. Family members have distinct targets and regulatory interactions.
A transcription factor family recognizing GATA-related DNA motifs. Successive GATA factors can implement specification, stabilization and differentiated gene expression in a developmental gene regulatory network.
A maternal transcription factor providing endomesodermal input to the EMS lineage in Caenorhabditis elegans. Its effects include activation of MED factors and endoderm-specifying regulators.
A divergent GATA transcription factor contributing to the robustness of Caenorhabditis elegans endomesoderm specification, partly redundantly with MED-2.
A GATA transcription factor specifying Caenorhabditis elegans endoderm, with overlapping function with END-3. Forced expression can test bypass of an earlier regulatory requirement.
A transient GATA transcription factor acting in early Caenorhabditis elegans endoderm specification and contributing to END-1 activation.
A GATA transcription factor important in intestinal cell differentiation and maintenance in Caenorhabditis elegans, with overlapping functions with ELT-7.
A GATA transcription factor acting with ELT-2 across the specification-to-differentiation transition in the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine.
The Caenorhabditis elegans TCF-family transcription factor. Its action depends on nuclear abundance and availability of SYS-1, so it can repress or activate endoderm targets in different daughter cells.
A divergent Caenorhabditis elegans beta-catenin coactivator that binds POP-1. A high SYS-1-to-POP-1 ratio supports transcriptional activation in the appropriate posterior daughter.
A Caudal-related transcription factor supplying an additional input into the Caenorhabditis elegans endomesoderm network.
A TEAD-family transcription factor whose activity with YAP participates in mouse trophectoderm specification.
A forkhead-family transcription factor associated with axial mesendoderm and definitive endoderm specification.
A Drosophila maternal homeodomain protein concentrated anteriorly. It activates zygotic transcription in a concentration-dependent context and also represses biological translation of Caudal messenger RNA.
A Drosophila transcription factor supplied through maternal and zygotic expression. Posterior Nanos-dependent repression of the maternal messenger RNA and anterior Bicoid-dependent transcription make distinct contributions.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
