Gene regulation in mammalian cells: a complex democracy?

A (perhaps oversold?) press release entitled "International team cracks mammalian gene control code" is making the rounds, and while maybe a bit overreaching it looks pretty interesting!

For more details, check out this a blurb from Nature Genetics: "FANTOM studies networks in cells: Systems biology boosted by RNA-sequencing consortium" by Heidi Ledford. You can also read the abstracts at the links below (abstracts only - the articles aren't freely available online).
