Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

8.5K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

16.7K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Systems Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genome-wide expression profiles offer insights into cell-specific transcriptional networks.
  • Existing statistical models often fail to capture context-specific transcriptional regulations.
  • A new approach is needed to mine dynamic transcriptional networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for identifying context-specific transcription regulatory networks.
  • To create a database of these networks for human.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized composite gene-set analysis integrating transcription factor binding sites, Gene Ontology/pathway information, and gene expression fold-change profiles.
  • Collected significant patterns to build the REGNET database.
  • Validated predictions using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and literature review.

Main Results:

  • Developed REGNET, a database of context-specific transcription networks for humans.
  • Demonstrated the ability to explore context-specific roles of transcription factors and their functional targets.
  • Successfully validated E2F1 targets in HeLa cells and c-JUN/EMT networks from literature.

Conclusions:

  • REGNET serves as a valuable tool for investigating transcription factor-target-condition relationships.
  • The database provides insights into novel, cell-specific transcriptional regulations.
  • REGNET is publicly accessible at http://mgrc.kribb.re.kr/regnet.
