GOLEM: A tool for visualizing the distribution of Gene regulatOry eLEMents within the plant promoters with a focus on male gametophyte.

ABSTRACT: Gene expression regulation during tissue development is extremely complex. A key mechanism of gene regulation is the recognition of regulatory motifs, also known as cis-regulatory elements (CREs), by various proteins in gene promoter regions. Localization of these motifs near the transcription start site (TSS) or translation start site (ATG) is crucial for transcription initiation and rate. Transcription levels of individual genes, regulated by these motifs, can vary significantly across tissues and developmental stages, especially in processes like sexual reproduction. However, the precise localization and visualization of these motifs in relation to gene expression in specific tissues can be challenging. Here, we introduce a freely available tool called GOLEM (Gene regulatOry eLEMents; h
