Complex effects of nucleotide variants in a mammalian cis-regulatory element.
Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) control gene expression by recruiting transcription factors (TFs) and other DNA binding proteins. We aim to understand how individual nucleotides contribute to the function of CREs. Here we introduce CRE analysis by sequencing (CRE-seq), a high-throughput method for producing and testing large numbers of reporter genes in mammalian cells. We used CRE-seq to assay ...
متن کاملSex-specific effects of cis-regulatory variants in Drosophila melanogaster.
Sexual dimorphism at the level of gene expression is common and well documented, but much less is known about how different cis-regulatory alleles interact with the different trans-regulatory environments present in males and females. Here we show that sex-specific effects of cis-regulatory variants are common in Drosophila.
متن کاملCEAS: cis-regulatory element annotation system
The recent availability of high-density human genome tiling arrays enables biologists to conduct ChIP-chip experiments to locate the in vivo-binding sites of transcription factors in the human genome and explore the regulatory mechanisms. Once genomic regions enriched by transcription factor ChIP-chip are located, genome-scale downstream analyses are crucial but difficult for biologists without...
متن کاملPlantCARE, a plant cis-acting regulatory element database
PlantCARE is a database of plant cis- acting regulatory elements, enhancers and repressors. Besides the transcription motifs found on a sequence, it also offers a link to the EMBL entry that contains the full gene sequence as well as a description of the conditions in which a motif becomes functional. The information on these sites is given by matrices, consensus and individual site sequences o...
متن کاملFitness Effects of Cis-Regulatory Variants in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TDH3 Promoter.
Variation in gene expression is widespread within and between species, but fitness consequences of this variation are generally unknown. Here, we use mutations in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TDH3 promoter to assess how changes in TDH3 expression affect cell growth. From these data, we predict the fitness consequences of de novo mutations and natural polymorphisms in the TDH3 promoter. Nearly a...
