Genome-scale identification and comparative analysis of transcription factors in thermophilic cyanobacteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The transcription factors (TFs) in thermophilic cyanobacteria might represent a uniquely evolved gene repertoire in light of the strong selective pressure caused by hostile habitats. Understanding the molecular composition of the TF genes in thermophilic cyanobacteria will facilitate further studies regarding verifying their exact biochemical functions and genetic engineering. However, limited information is available on the TFs of thermophilic cyanobacteria. Herein, a thorough investigation and comparative analysis were performed to gain insights into the molecular composition of the TFs in 22 thermophilic cyanobacteria.

Results

The results suggested a fascinating diversity of the TFs among these thermophiles. The abundance and type of TF genes were diversified i
