We have developed an algorithm (“Lever”) that systematically maps metazoan DNA regulatory motifs or motif combinations to the sets of genes that they likely regulate. Lever accomplishes this by assessing whether the motifs are enriched within cis regulatory modules (CRMs), predicted by our “Ph...

Epidemiological studies have revealed concurrence of specific cancers with other disease states such as metabolic syndrome, inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease. Patients with these chronic conditions have a higher incidence of various cancers, more aggressive tumors, and a higher mortality r...

Contemporary high throughput technologies permit the rapid identification of transcription factor (TF) target genes on a genome-wide scale, yet the functional significance of TFs requires knowledge of target gene expression patterns, cooperating TFs and cis-regulatory element (CRE) structures. Here...

Most homeodomains are unique within a genome, yet many are highly conserved across vast evolutionary distances, implying strong selection on their precise DNA-binding specificities. We determined the binding preferences of the majority (168) of mouse homeodomains to all possible 8-base sequences, re...

Transcription factors (TFs) play a central role in regulating gene expression by interacting with cis regulatory DNA elements associated with their target genes. Recent surveys have examined the DNA binding specificities of most Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factors but a comprehensive eval...

DNA sequence is a major determinant of the binding specificity of transcription factors (TFs) for their genomic targets. However, eukaryotic cells often express, at the same time, TFs with highly similar DNA binding motifs but distinct in vivo targets. Currently, it is not well understood how TFs wi...

Identifying tissue and condition-specific gene regulatory elements and the mechanisms by which they associate with their target genes in human cells remains a significant challenge, largely due to the vast amount of non-protein-coding sequence in the human genome. Despite increasing evidence of phys...

A subfamily of Drosophila homeodomain (HD) transcription factors (TFs) controls the identities of individual muscle founder cells (FCs). However, the molecular mechanisms by which these TFs generate unique FC genetic programs remain unknown. To investigate this problem, we first applied genome-wide ...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster 
Understanding transcriptional regulatory networks requires the identification and characterization of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs), DNA sequences which can direct expression of associated genes to a specific cell type and/or developmental stage. Reporter assays for the capacity of a candidate CRM ...
