Promoter decoding of transcription factor dynamics
‘Steganography,’ meaning ‘concealed writing,’ is the art of hiding a secret message within another message. The original message appears to be simply a letter or photograph, yet a person with the requisite knowledge can decode it to find hidden information. As it turns out, cells may have developed a form of steganography. Recent studies have shown that a single transcription factor (TF) can ex...
متن کاملReconstructing transcription factor activities in hierarchical transcription network motifs
MOTIVATION A knowledge of the dynamics of transcription factors is fundamental to understand the transcriptional regulation mechanism. Nowadays, an experimental measure of transcription factor activities in vivo represents a challenge. Several methods have been developed to infer these activities from easily measurable quantities such as mRNA expression of target genes. A limitation of these me...
متن کاملModeling transcription factor motifs
Motivation: Generating small models for which there may exist very little training data presents a crucial problem in computational biology, namely the trade-oo between model speciicity and under-tting the data. There are a bevy of superior modeling techniques; however, certain domain speciic problems, such as modeling the regulatory regions in intergenic DNA impose constraints on the modeling ...
متن کاملDynamics of network motifs
A biased distribution of local network structures, or network motifs, has been widely observed but remains poorly understood. By comprehensively studying their dynamics, we show that some network motifs are fundamentally more versatile—capable of executing a variety of tasks—than others. We calculate the value of a motif by comparing its versatility to its range of possible update rules. Our wo...
متن کاملBayesian Clustering of Transcription Factor Binding Motifs
Genes are often regulated in living cells by proteins called transcription factors (TFs) that bind directly to short segments of DNA in close proximity to specific genes. These binding sites have a conserved nucleotide appearance, which is called a motif. Several recent studies of transcriptional regulation require the reduction of a large collection of motifs into clusters based on the similar...
