The control of gene expression is a biological process essential to all organisms. This is accomplished through the interaction of regulatory proteins with specific DNA motifs in the control regions of the genes that they regulate. Upon binding to DNA, and through specific protein-protein interactions, these regulatory proteins convey signals to the basal transcriptional machinery, containing the respective RNA polymerases, resulting in particular rates of gene expression. In eukaryotes, in…

A statistical model to determine multiple binding sites of a transcription factor on DNA using ChIP-seq data
TLDR
A statistical model to identify multiple binding sites of a transcription factor within a short region of the genome using the ChlP-seq data is produced and the results were compared with existing peak-calling programs.

Systems biology based meth-miRNA–mRNA regulatory network identifies metabolic imbalance and hyperactive cell cycle signaling involved in hepatocellular carcinoma onset and progression
TLDR
It is suggested that simultaneous reversal ofhyper-methylation and/or oncogenic miRNA driven suppression of genes involved in metabolic pathways, and induction of hyper- methylation and or tumor suppressor miRNAs involved in cell cycle signaling have potential of inhibiting disease aggressiveness, and predicting good survival in HCC.

Core promoters: active contributors to combinatorial gene regulation.
TLDR
The regulation of transcription was expected to rely exclusively on DNA-binding proteins that interact with distal promoters and enhancers, but today, this simplistic picture of the structure of core promoters for protein-coding genes has been replaced by a level of complexity that is not yet fully understood or appreciated.
Mediator – a universal complex in transcriptional regulation
TLDR
A model to account for the functional and evolutionary relationship between yeast and metazoan Mediators is discussed and an appendix is created, MEDB, in which information about all the S. cerevisiae Mediator subunits and their homologues in other eukaryotic cells are compiled.
The RNA polymerase II core promoter.
TLDR
Although core promoter structure was originally thought to be invariant, a remarkable degree of diversity has become apparent and this article reviews the structural and functional diversity of the RNA polymerase II core promoter.
