| Transcription factors (TFs) regulate spatial and temporal gene expression by binding to DNA and either activating or repressing the action of RNA polymerases; in addition to TFs, other transcriptional regulators (TRs) participate in transcriptional modulation. With the availability of genome sequences for several organisms and computational strategies for gene functional annotation, the entire set of TFs and TRs can be identified, described, and compared between species and lineages. The diversity among Stramenopiles is striking; they range from large multicellular seaweeds to tiny unicellular species, they are present in freshwater, marine and terrestrial habitats and embrace many ecologically important algal (e.g. diatoms, brown algae, chrysophytes), and... |

| In this study we identify, and classify into families, transcription factors (TFs) and other transcriptional regulators (TRs) in genome sequences available from the Stramenopile group. For this we exploit the presence of protein domains and their combinations to build rules in the form of boolean rules, that are specific for each family of TFs and TRs. We found a correlation between the family size and some traits that has been described to be involved in the complexity of organisms. Furthermore, we found specific gains, losses and families that shows higher abundance in different lineages, which may be involved in the regulation of specific traits for some Stramenopile species. |

| Background. 
Many transcriptional regulatory proteins have been identified and classified into several families on the basis of sequence similarity (Fukami, 2003), these families usually regulate important biological processes, such as development and responses to external stimuli. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate spatial and temporal gene expression by binding to DNA and either activating or repressing the action of RNA polymerases (Latchman, 2004); in addition to TFs, other Transcriptional regulators (TRs) participate in transcriptional modulation by e.g., chromatin remodeling. With the availability of genome sequences for several organisms and computational strategies for gene functional annotation, the entire set of Transcription... |
