Research Abstract

In order to construct an analysis tool for identifying cis-elements related to regulation of gene expression, we extracted the sequences of putative promoter regions of all annotated genes in rice, which correspond to the 1kb and 2kb from the start point of transcription for each gene, and performed a wide range of co-expression analyses. Furthermore, we designed probes for protein binding microarray in order to extract the sequence, with which a transcription factor directly interact.
