X2K 1.6.1207 – mRNA Profiling Linked to Multiple Upstream Regulatory Layers

X2K 1.6.1207

:: DESCRIPTION

X2K (Expression2Kinases)  is a method to identify upstream regulators likely responsible for observed patterns in genome-wide gene expression. By integrating ChIP-seq/chip and position-weight-matrices (PWMs) data, protein-protein interactions, and kinase-substrate phosphorylation reactions, X2K can better identify regulatory mechanisms upstream of genome-wide differences in gene expression. X2K first infers the most likely transcription factors that regulate the differences in gene expression, then use protein-protein interactions to connect the identified transcription factors using additional proteins for building transcriptional regulatory subnetworks centered on these factors, and finally use kinase-substrate protein phosphorylation reactions, to identify and rank candidate protein-kinases that most likely regulate the formation of the identified transcriptional complexes.
