Determining physical constraints in transcriptional initiation complexes using DNA sequence analysis (2008)

Shultzaberger, Ryan K., Chiang, Derek Y., Moses, Alan M., Eisen, Michael B.

Eukaryotic gene expression is often under the control of cooperatively acting transcription factors whose binding is limited by structural constraints. By determining these structural constraints, we...

Conservation and Evolution of Cis-Regulatory Systems in Ascomycete Fungi (2004)

Audrey P. Gasch, Alan M. Moses, Derek Y. Chiang, Hunter B. Fraser, Mark Berardini, Michael B. Eisen

A systematic examination of the gene regulatory elements in ascomycete fungi reveals striking conservation along with some examples of the ways in which regulatory systems can evolve.

Conservation and Evolution of Cis-Regulatory Systems in Ascomycete Fungi (2004)

Audrey P. Gasch, Alan M. Moses, Derek Y. Chiang, Hunter B. Fraser, Mark Berardini, Michael B. Eisen

Relatively little is known about the mechanisms through which gene expression regulation evolves. To investigate this, we systematically explored the conservation of regulatory networks in fungi by...

MONKEY: identifying conserved transcription-factor binding sites in multiple alignments using a binding site-specific evolutionary model (2004)

Moses, Alan M, Chiang, Derek Y, Pollard, Daniel A, Iyer, Venky N, Eisen, Michael B

Abstract We introduce a method (MONKEY) to identify conserved transcription-factor binding sites in multispecies alignments. MONKEY employs probabilistic models of factor specificity and binding-site...
