TLDR
A comprehensive yeast-specific promoter database that contains relevant binding affinity and expression data where available and provides some simple but useful tools for promoter sequence analysis is developed.
Abstract
MOTIVATION: In order to facilitate a systematic study of the promoters and transcriptionally regulatory cis-elements of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on a genomic scale, we have developed a comprehensive yeast-specific promoter database, SCPD. RESULTS: Currently SCPD contains 580 experimentally mapped transcription factor (TF) binding sites and 425 transcriptional start sites (TSS) as its primary data entries. It also contains relevant binding affinity and expression data where available. In addition to mechanisms for promoter information (including sequence) retrieval and a data submission form, SCPD also provides some simple but useful tools for promoter sequence analysis. AVAILABILITY: SCPD can be accessed from the URL http://cgsigma.cshl.org/jian. The database is continually updated.

The probability distribution of distance TSS-TLS is organism characteristic and can be used for promoter prediction

TL;DR: In this article, the distance distribution between gene transcription and translation start sites (TSS-TLS) is used to test an assumption that over evolution, the TSS-Tls distance becomes a distinct character for a given organism.

Computational approaches for gene network discovery

Tomaž Curk
TL;DR: The main contribution of this dissertation is a method that relies on a new machine learning approach called rule-based clustering that can combine regulatory DNA sequence and phenotype data to infer rules that describe clusters of genes with similar phenotype and regulatory structure.

Non-adaptive factors determine which equally effective regulatory motif evolves to generate pulses

TL;DR: The results suggest that evolutionary accessibility, and not relative functionality, shapes which motifs evolve in TRNs, and does so as a function of the expression levels of particular genes.

Estimating motifs under order restrictions.

TL;DR: This work constrain the order of the information (entropy) in the columns of the position specific weight matrix (PWM) which characterizes the motif being sought and shows how to compute the maximum likelihood estimate of a PWM under such order restrictions.

Identifying binding sites in sequential genomic data

TL;DR: It is shown that using an SVM together with data sampling, to integrate the results of individual algorithms specialised for the prediction of binding site locations, can produce significant improvements upon the original algorithms.

Exploring the Metabolic and Genetic Control of Gene Expression on a Genomic Scale

TL;DR: DNA microarrays containing virtually every gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used to carry out a comprehensive investigation of the temporal program of gene expression accompanying the metabolic shift from fermentation to respiration, and the expression patterns of many previously uncharacterized genes provided clues to their possible functions.

The role of general initiation factors in transcription by RNA polymerase II.

TL;DR: Transcription initiation on protein-encoding genes represents a major control point for gene expression in eukaryotes, and is mediated by RNA polymerase II and a surprisingly complex array of general initiation factors that are highly conserved from yeast to man.

SGD: Saccharomyces Genome Database

TL;DR: The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) provides Internet access to the complete SacCharomyces cerevisiae genomic sequence, its genes and their products, the phenotypes of its mutants, and the literature supporting these data.
