Information Content in Transcription Factor Binding Sites
The application of Information Theory to the analysis of genomic sequences and, specifically, transcription factor binding sites, is one of the most successful attempts at modeling the behavior and evolution of these genomic elements. As such, information theory models lie at the core of many transcription factor binding site search and motif discovery tools, such as the widely used Virtual Foo...
متن کاملGenomic studies of transcription factor-DNA interactions.
A central issue in the regulation of gene expression is the physical association of transcription factors with relevant promoter sequences. Recently, technological advances have allowed researchers to analyze these processes on a genomic scale. In particular, the combination of the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) technique with microarray analysis (the 'ChIP to chip' experiment) is providi...
متن کاملDynamic interactions of a transcription factor with DNA are accelerated by a chromatin remodeller.
Most components in the nucleus are in a state of dynamic equilibrium maintained by the rapid mobility of nuclear proteins within and between compartments. Mobility is believed to reflect transient binding, but the identity of the binding sites and the function of the transient interactions are a matter of debate. Furthermore, we know little about how these processes may be regulated. Here, we i...
متن کاملDNA microarrays, chromatin, transcription
The DNA microarray-based technique has been developed to semi-quantitatively measure the in vivo global chromatin condensation state at the resolution of a gene. Chromatin was fractionated due to the differential solubility of histone H1-containing and histone H1-free nucleosomes. A set of genes non-randomly distributed between histone H1-free (uncondensed or open) and histone H1-containing (co...
متن کاملNeuroD1 reprograms chromatin and transcription factor landscapes to induce the neuronal program.
Cell fate specification relies on the action of critical transcription factors that become available at distinct stages of embryonic development. One such factor is NeuroD1, which is essential for eliciting the neuronal development program and possesses the ability to reprogram other cell types into neurons. Given this capacity, it is important to understand its targets and the mechanism underl...
