Abstract:
We describe steps to 1) identify ascending and descending monotonic key genes from time-ordered stem cell differentiation expression data, 2) construct time-ordered transcriptional regulatory networks, and 3) infer the involvement of transcription factors along the differentiation process. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wong et al. (2020).

Combinatorial Gene Control
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...

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
