A transcription factor-pair work in concert to regulate gene expression across the life cycle of the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Both dual-functional TFs work together, non-redundantly, to regulate gene expression across the life cycle, while each is additionally specialised to regulate diverse and distinct gene sets: ranging from genes implicated in lytic parasitic functions to sexual dimorphism.
