Regulatory Relationships from Systems Biology
  • BioCyc

    Gene interactions based on ChIPSeq and Transcription Factor Over-Expression (TFOE) (Systems Biology)

    NOTE: Green edges represent the connected genes being classified as differentially essential as a result of the middle gene being knocked out. These interactions are inferred based on RNASeq.

    Interactions based on ChIPSeq data

  • Interactions based on ChIPSeq data (Minch et al. 2014)

    Interactions based on TFOE data (Rustad et al. 2014)

    • Upregulates:
