Transcript data from detailed lab studies Transcript data from past experiments reveals co-expression. Large transcript data-sets Clustering of array data over development, biotic/abiotic stresses in order to discover co-regulation through co-expression. Comparative genomics: Inter-species promoter comparison Comparison of promoter sequences of a gene between different species can identify elements highly conserved since divergence. Approaches Different resources used to identify regulatory promoter motifs:
Identify tightly co-expressed mitochondrial genes and predict regulatory motifs Cluster genes with a motif of interest based on motif organisation and expression Test activity of motifs Test motif activity and importance of organisation Network discovery driven by large-scale transcriptional profiling Vast publicly-available Arabidopsis transcript data sets
