In the figure: the control factors are divided hierarchically into three levels of activity. The factors of the highest level (above) affect the state of the genetic material, thus determining the basic identity of the cell. The factors of the second level (in the center) determine the expression levels of the genes and thus shape the properties of the cell. The factors of the third level (below) are more dynamic in nature, and activate genes in response to changing environmental conditions.

Weizmann Institute scientists have developed a method for deciphering the control code of the genome and through it have revealed new principles in regulating the expression of genes
