Abstract excerpt
Mammals have variable numbers (1300-2000) of transcription factors (TFs), but the reasons for this large variation are unclear. To investigate general TF patterns, we de novo identified 156,906 TFs from 96 mammalian species. We identified more than 500 human isolated TFs that are rarely reported in human TF-to-TF networks. Mutations in the genes of these TFs were less lethal than those of connected TFs....
