Characterization of the p53 cistrome--DNA binding cooperativity dissects p53's tumor suppressor functions.

p53 protects us from cancer by transcriptionally regulating tumor suppressive programs designed to either prevent the development or clonal expansion of malignant cells. How p53 selects target genes in the genome in a context- and tissue-specific manner remains largely obscure. There is growing evid...
