Abstract
Transcription factor gradients trigger differential transcriptional responses based on concentration. But how, in some cases, do target genes maintain uniform transcription across portions of the gradient? Lessons from Drosophila demonstrate that organization of transcription into 'hubs' can lead to local increases in transcription factor concentration.
