Journal ArticleDOI

WoLF PSORT: protein localization predictor.

TL;DR: WoLF PSORT converts protein amino acid sequences into numerical localization features; based on sorting signals, amino acid composition and functional motifs such as DNA-binding motifs, which allows a user to understand the evidence (or lack thereof) behind the predictions made for particular proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Omics-based identification of Arabidopsis Myb transcription factors regulating aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis

TL;DR: Two R2R3-Myb transcription factors are found that positively control the biosynthesis of GSLs in Arabidopsis thaliana by an integrated omics approach and a working model for regulation of GSL production involving these genes, renamed Production of Methionine-Derived Glucosinolate (PMG) 1 and 2 are postulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-expression tools for plant biology: opportunities for hypothesis generation and caveats

TL;DR: Examples from the literature, wherein co-expression has been used to corroborate and discover various aspects of plant biology are presented, and statistical issues including how normalization of gene expression data can influence co- expression results are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATTED-II: a database of co-expressed genes and cis elements for identifying co-regulated gene groups in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: An Arabidopsis thaliana trans-factor and cis-element prediction database that provides co-regulated gene relationships based on co-expressed genes deduced from microarray data and the predicted cis elements to help researchers to clarify the function and regulation of particular genes and gene networks is reported.
