| The generation of biodiversity is tied to the evolution and re-wiring of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). One component of these GRN are transcription factors and other transcriptional regulators. We have devised a pipeline for the identification of TFs and TRs, exploiting the domain architecture of these proteins. Currently we have a set of rules, representing 138 proteins families, that we have applied to the identification of ~20 different plant species and several species of Stramenopiles, where important plant pathogens are found. Results for plant species are available at http://plntfdb.uniandes.edu.co/; we are now developing a newer interface for Stramenopiles. |
