Hypothesis
A tool for detecting the co-regulation of transcription factors in a group of gene promoters is required.
Conclusion
PlantPAN is an effective resource for analyzing plant promoters and identifying combinatorial transcription factor binding sites.
Supporting Evidence
- PlantPAN allows users to analyze co-regulated transcription factor binding sites in plant gene promoters.
- The system integrates data from multiple databases to enhance the analysis of plant promoters.
- PlantPAN provides a user-friendly interface for inputting gene IDs and obtaining regulatory information.
Takeaway
PlantPAN helps scientists understand how genes in plants are turned on and off by showing where important regulatory elements are located in their DNA.
Methodology
The study developed a database-assisted system that collects transcription factor binding profiles and allows users to input gene IDs or promoter sequences to identify binding sites within a defined distance.
