Co-occupancy identifies transcription factor co-operation for axon growth

After injury to the nervous system, many neurons fail to initiate transcriptional programs needed for axon growth. Here the authors examine co-operative binding of factors to regulatory DNA to predict combinations that improve axon growth when ectopically co-expressed.
