Noteworthy Features

  • Systematically create experimentally testable hypotheses for gene transcription regulation and signaling networks.
  • Map putative transcription factor (TF) binding sites on promoters in focus.
  • Construct promoter modules as combinations of individual binding sites and composite regulatory elements, thus suggesting TFs provide common regulation of differentially expressed genes.
  • Identify key molecules upstream of TFs that might be responsible for the coordinated regulation of the suggested TFs.
