Abstract

Very large-scale gene expression analysis, i.e., UniGene and dbEST, are provided to find those genes with significantly differential expression in specific tissues. The differentially expressed genes in a specific tissue are potentially regulated concurrently by a combination of transcription factors. This study attempts to mine putative binding sites on how combinations of the known regulatory sites homologs and over-represented repetitive elements are distributed in the promoter regions of considered groups of differentially expressed genes. We propose a data mining approach to statistically discover the significantly tissue-specific combinations of known site homologs and over-represented repetitive sequences, which are distributed in the promoter regions of differentially gene groups. The association rules mined would facilitate to predict putative regulatory elements and identify genes potentially co-regulated by the putative regulatory elements.
