Identification of novel regulatory factor X (RFX) target genes by comparative genomics in Drosophila species

Anne Laurençon, Raphaëlle Dubruille, Evgeni Efimenko, Guillaume Grenier, Ryan Bissett, Elisabeth Cortier, Vivien Rolland, Peter Swoboda, Bénédicte Durand Genome Biology 2007, 8:R195 (17 September 2007)

An RFX-binding site is shown to be conserved in the promoters of a subset of ciliary genes and a subsequent screen for this site in two Drosophila species identified novel RFX target genes that are involved in sensory ciliogenesis.
