Survey of variation in human transcription factors reveals prevalent DNA binding changes. Science 351 (2016), 1450–1454 The authors identified many thousands of naturally occurring human TF DBD missense variants, which were collectively prevalent in humans. They further demonstrated that numerous such variants alterin vitro TF–DNA binding properties.
