Extended Data Fig. 9: Summary model.

Model of trans-regulated strain-specific Kupffer cell transcriptional networks. A majority of trans effects are controlled by the strain-specific cellular environment, while a smaller fraction of trans effects are driven by cell-intrinsic differences in pathway activity. Trans differences in pathway activity induce differential transcription factor activation and gene expression. Examples of strain-specific transcription factor motifs and downstream genes are shown for BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J Kupffer cells.
