Polymerase Genes are not always on Transcription Factor Promoter mRNA A brief review of genetics Gene Upstream Downstream
The Combination of Genes that are ON and OFF determines the phenotype
Systems Biology How does the organism work…? • RNAi • MicroArray • GFP-Localization • PPI • Genetic Interactions • Regulatory Networks -How are these connected? -When are they expressed? (Condition) -When are they expressed? (Time) -Where are they expressed? -How do they turn on? (Regulatory Networks)
Who is connected with whom..? Protein-Protein Interactions
Polymerase Polymerase How do they turn on? Regulatory interactions…? (Positive) Gene1 Gene2
Polymerase Polymerase How do they turn on? Regulatory interactions…? (Negative) Gene1 Gene2
Gene2 What happens when we remove one..? • RNAi • MicroArray • GFP-Localization • PPI • Genetic Interactions • Regulatory Networks Knock outs Any difference….? Gene1 Gene3
Gene1 Gene2 What happens when we remove two..? Genetic Interactions..? Gene3
Under which conditions are they expressed? Microarray
Polymerase Transcription Factor Gene Gene Encoding GFP Promoter Where are they expressed? GFP Upstream Downstream
Where is the field at? • Collecting data and developing methods..? PPI: Cite… Rual et. Al. Ito. El al. Uetz. et. Al. Steltz et. Al. RNAi: Microarray. S. Kim. et. Al. Coverage is still very low compared to what is expected to be out there….
PPI Co-Expression Localization Where is it going..?
The Localizome A high throughput way to determine spatio-temporal expression patterns in c. elegans.

Average Expression | Annotation Average Expression | All Annotations The Localizome (Validation) • Validation (Average Image)
The Localizome (Analysis) Correlation -PCC- PCC=0.88 PCC=0.03
Annotations P-Value Embryo: 1.4x10-2 The Localizome (Analysis) P-Value Pharynx : 1.4x10-5 Vulva Muscle: 3.1x10-4
What can we use this for…? Are all the interactions found with other methods veridical..? Are these expressed in the same place and time…?
Protein-Protein Interactions are biological only in certain regions
Regulatory Networks TF Promoter TF
Pharynx Embryo Adult The Big Picture
Summary • Reliable localization data can be produced in a high throughput with the profiler technology. • This data can be used potentially to identify the sub-networks involved in different organs and in different developmental stages. • So far we see that the overlap between interacting partners tends to be partial.
