Hi Jing, I am including the Bioconductor email list so that we will have a record of your question, and the answers we arrive at.

I would like to > predict the transcription factors that are unknown. One good approach here would be to find candidate regulatory regions for each of the members of your complex. Bioc now has a getPromoterSeq method, demonstrated at http://bioconductor.org/help/workflows/gene-regulation-tfbs/. The rGADEM package finds motifs de novo when given a number of sequences, but this can be an expensive and inconclusive search when your sequences are long, and if your genes are few. The ENCODE project, and John Stam's group at UW in particular, have produced a lot of new data, including DNase1 hypersensitivity regions and footprints, and H3K4me methylation profiles, and transcription factor binding sites. The can narrow your search considerably. In short, we now know much more than we used to about what and where the regulatory regions proximal to a gene seem to be. We have just begun prototyping a means to provide easy access in Bioconductor to these kinds of data. Once you have some candidate transcription factor binding sequences, the MotIV package (and the external program 'tomtom') can match them against know motifs in MotifDb, often identifying transcription factor candidates. If you could clarify your question a bit, provide an example -- anonymizing the genes in your complex if need be -- we can try and find specific techniques for you to use. Please reply 'on-list' so that our discussion can be archived, and so that others with advice can chip in. - Paul > > Is there anyway it is doable? > > Many many thanks > > Jing > On 10/8/12 8:38 PM, "Paul Shannon" <pshannon at="" fhcrc.org=""> wrote: > >> Hi Jing, >> >> This took WAY too long. >> >> But it is at last ready.

Many thanks Paul. Let me first following your advices and do some investigations during holiday. Then, I will be able to define the question more specific.
