Rapamycin response network

In this page we present the modules, and background information for the rapamycin response modules.

We selected 14 transcriptional regulators that seemed likely to function in the rapamycin response in S. cerevisiae, and performed genome-wide protein-DNA binding assays. In the the following table we present these 14 factors, and discuss why each of them were selected. You can access the complete binding results for rapamycin by following this link.

We ran the GRAM algorithm using the binding data for the 14 transcription factors in rapamycin and 22 previously published expression experiments relevant to rapamycin conditions (see [1,2]). Thirty-nine modules containing 317 unique genes and regulated by 13 transcription factors were discovered. Click here to download the set of rapamycin modules identified by our algorithm. You can also view a html version of the same file. This version contains links for each of the orfs to its website on SGD.
