Transcriptional Regulation Network of Escherichia coli

Dataset of the transcriptional regulation network of Escherichia coli

The expression of genes must be carefully controlled to occur under the correct developmental and environmental conditions. To do so, expressed proteins regulate the transcription of genes, forming links of activation and inhibition constituting networks of coordination. This data set contains the regulated operons of E. coli, the transcription factors regulating those operons, and whether that regulation activates or inhibits expression. (Operons are one or more genes transcribed on the same DNA). With this regulatory graph, we can find common graph motifs that suggest particular regulatory relationships and allows us to understand aspects of regulatory dynamics more clearly.
