Veitia Lab – The forkhead DNA-binding domain binds specific G2-rich RNA sequences

The Veitia Lab recently published a new article in Nucleic Acids Research : The forkhead DNA-binding domain binds specific G2-rich RNA sequences   Abstract: Transcription factors contain a DNA-binding domain ensuring specific recognition of DNA target sequences. The family of forkhead (FOX) transcription factors is composed of dozens of paralogs in mammals. The forkhead domain (FHD) is a…
