The ability of living organisms to survive changing environmental conditions is dependent on the implementation of gene expression programs underlying adaptation and fitness. Transcriptional networks can be exceptionally complex: a single transcription factor (TF) may regulate hundreds of genes, and multiple TFs may regulate a single gene-depending on the environmental conditions. Moreover, the same TF may act as an activator or repressor in distinct conditions.

, , and species are the most frequent cause of severe human fungal infections. Clinically relevant antifungal drugs are scarce, and their effectiveness are hampered by the ability of fungal cells to develop drug resistance mechanisms. Drug effectiveness and drug resistance in human pathogens is very often affected by their "transportome".
