transcriptional regulators. Next, it uses expression data to identify a subset of the genes, the expression of which is highly correlated. Finally, the algorithm searches the DNA-binding


data again, using less stringent criteria, to find more genes of similar expression that are also bound by the same transcription factors. The authors put the GRAM algorithm to the test in


_Saccharomyces cerevisiae_ by applying it to genome-wide location data for 106 transcription factors and >500 expression experiments — in this way, they identified 106 sets of


co-expressed genes that are bound by the same transcription factors. These so-called gene modules contain 655 genes and are regulated by 68 transcription factors. Because gene modules link


the common expression pattern of a set of genes to a set of regulators, the authors were also able to predict that 11 of the regulators were activators — a finding that was confirmed by


previous experimental work. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this journal Receive 12 print
