Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract
We have determined how most of the transcriptional regulators encoded in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae associate with genes across the genome in living cells. Just as maps of metabolic networks describe the potential pathways that may be used by a cell to accomplish metabolic processes, this network of regulator-gene interactions describes potential pathways yeast cells can use to regulate global gene expression programs. We use this information to identify network motifs, the simplest units of network architecture, and demonstrate that an automated process can use motifs to assemble a transcriptional regulatory network structure. Our results reveal that eukaryotic cellular functions are highly connected through networks of transcriptional regulators that regulate other transcriptional regulators.

TF motifs present in regulatory peaks correlated with RFX3 gene expression included STAT2 and IRF1 as well as FOSB and SPI1 (PU.1), which were differentially upregulated at gene expression level in IGPs.
“We determined TF motifs present in the regulatory peaks that correlated with RFX3 gene expression (i.e. linked peaks analysis) 63 and identified those of STAT2 and IRF1 (further supporting an IRF1-specific response) as well as FOSB and SPI1 (or PU.1), which were differentially upregulated at the gene expression level in IGPs”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
