Statistical analysis of dynamic transcriptional regulatory network structure. 2011

Here, we present a detailed method for generating a dynamic transcriptional regulatory network from large-scale chromatin immunoprecipitation data, and functional analysis of participating factors through the identification and characterization of significantly overrepresented multi-input motifs in the network. This is done by visualizing interactive data using a network analysis tool, such as Cytoscape, clustering DNA targets of the transcription factors based on their network topologies, and statistically analyzing each cluster based on its size and properties of its members. These analyses yield testable predictions about the conditional and cooperative functions of the factors. This is a versatile approach that allows the visualization of network architecture on a genome-wide level and is applicable to understanding combinatorial control mechanisms of DNA-binding regulators that conditionally cooperate in a wide variety of biological models.

D014157 Transcription Factors Endogenous substances, usually proteins, which are effective in the initiation, stimulation, or termination of the genetic transcription process. Transcription Factor,Factor, Transcription,Factors, Transcription
D016000 Cluster Analysis A set of statistical methods used to group variables or observations into strongly inter-related subgroups. In epidemiology, it may be used to analyze a closely grouped series of events or cases of disease or other health-related phenomenon with well-defined distribution patterns in relation to time or place or both. Clustering,Analyses, Cluster,Analysis, Cluster,Cluster Analyses,Clusterings
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships. Anchored PCR,Inverse PCR,Nested PCR,PCR,Anchored Polymerase Chain Reaction,Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction,Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction,PCR, Anchored,PCR, Inverse,PCR, Nested,Polymerase Chain Reactions,Reaction, Polymerase Chain,Reactions, Polymerase Chain
D047369 Chromatin Immunoprecipitation A technique for identifying specific DNA sequences that are bound, in vivo, to proteins of interest. It involves formaldehyde fixation of CHROMATIN to crosslink the DNA-BINDING PROTEINS to the DNA. After shearing the DNA into small fragments, specific DNA-protein complexes are isolated by immunoprecipitation with protein-specific ANTIBODIES. Then, the DNA isolated from the complex can be identified by PCR amplification and sequencing. Immunoprecipitation, Chromatin
D053263 Gene Regulatory Networks Interacting DNA-encoded regulatory subsystems in the GENOME that coordinate input from activator and repressor TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS during development, cell differentiation, or in response to environmental cues. The networks function to ultimately specify expression of particular sets of GENES for specific conditions, times, or locations.
