However, 50 transcription factors displayed similar interactions with SWI/SNF in the two cancer types, such as several zinc-finger transcription factors (ZNF512, ZNF598, ZNF609, ZNF687, and ZNF709), CTCF, ELF2, and YBX1, indicating shared gene regulation networks (Fig. 2E and Supplementary Table 7, Additional file 8). Here, ELF2 is linked to cancer.
