The discovery of regulatory domains has been limited to the investigation of transcription factors and homologous protein sequences. In this issue of Cell Genomics, motivated by an oncogenic protein fusion, Tak et al.1 direct the regulatory potential of a nontraditional effector domain to novel genomic loci with fusions to programmable DNA-binding domains.
