TFmiR: a web server for constructing and analyzing disease-specific transcription factor and miRNA co-regulatory networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
TFmiR is a freely available web server for deep and integrative analysis of combinatorial regulatory interactions between transcription factors, microRNAs and target genes that are involved in disease pathogenesis. Since the inner workings of cells rely on the correct functioning of an enormously complex system of activating and repressing interactions that can be perturbed in many ways, TFmiR helps to better elucidate cellular mechanisms at the molecular level from a network perspective. The provided topological and functional analyses promote TFmiR as a reliable systems biology tool for researchers across the life science communities. TFmiR web server is accessible through the following URL: http://service.bioinformatik.uni-saarland.de/tfmir.

Integrated Analysis and Application Pipelines for Complex Disease Data
The increasing amount of biological data available from high-throughput technologies poses great interdisciplinary challenges to research. Today, cost-efficient platforms generate manifold types of data and allow to build comprehensive resources that include but are not limited to genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics on a systemic scale. In order to adapt to this development in the post-wetla...
متن کاملCMGRN: a web server for constructing multilevel gene regulatory networks using ChIP-seq and gene expression data
ChIP-seq technology provides an accurate characterization of transcription or epigenetic factors binding on genomic sequences. With integration of such ChIP-based and other high-throughput information, it would be dedicated to dissecting cross-interactions among multilevel regulators, genes and biological functions. Here, we devised an integrative web server CMGRN (constructing multilevel gene ...
متن کاملDifferential network analysis for the identification of condition-specific pathway activity and regulation
MOTIVATION Identification of differential expressed genes has led to countless new discoveries. However, differentially expressed genes are only a proxy for finding dysregulated pathways. The problem is to identify how the network of regulatory and physical interactions rewires in different conditions or in disease. RESULTS We developed a procedure named DINA (DIfferential Network Analysis), ...
متن کاملCREME: Cis-Regulatory Module Explorer for the human genome
The binding of transcription factors to specific regulatory sequence elements is a primary mechanism for controlling gene transcription. Eukaryotic genes are often regulated by several transcription factors whose binding sites are tightly clustered and form cis-regulatory modules. In this paper, we present a web server, CREME, for identifying and visualizing cis-regulatory modules in the promot...
متن کاملGenome-wide survey of tissue-specific microRNA and transcription factor regulatory networks in 12 tissues
Tissue-specific miRNAs (TS miRNA) specifically expressed in particular tissues play an important role in tissue identity, differentiation and function. However, transcription factor (TF) and TS miRNA regulatory networks across multiple tissues have not been systematically studied. Here, we manually extracted 116 TS miRNAs and systematically investigated the regulatory network of TF-TS miRNA in ...
