| Libraries of S. cerevisiae and E. coli promoter reporters measured under different conditions reveal scaling relationships between expression profiles across conditions and suggest that most changes in activity are due to global effects.

| Emergence of a new lateral root primordium through the outer layers of the parental root requires the sequential auxin-mediated induction of two auxin transporters. This positive feedback regulatory loop coordinates patterned gene expression in outer tissues.

| The interaction specificities of extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma (σ) factors with promoters and their negative regulators (anti-σs) were mapped to identify non-crossreacting parts. These orthogonal sets represent a synthetic biology toolbox of genetic switches.

| Understanding how adaptation to a given antibiotic increases the sensitivity to other antibiotics is of great medical importance for the understanding of evolutionary trade-offs. Here, the first experimental map of such collateral sensitivity is presented, along with insights into the underlying mechanisms.
