This study identifies context-only transcription factors (TFs), a TF class that enhances DNA accessibility initiated by cell type-specific TFs and establishes cooperative environments. Enhancers enriched with motifs of both TF classes show high coactivator binding, enhanced coordination and sensitivity to bromodomain inhibitors.
