Humans are exposed to cell-damaging radiation from environmental and medical sources, causing cells to mount complex responses that rely on modifying gene expression. The regulators responsible for this are now mapped through genetic linkage and association studies, using radiation-induced changes in gene expression as quantitative traits and providing new insight into the architecture of gene expression regulation in response to stress.
