However, it is unclear how expression is established at the top of these cascades in the absence of pre-existing specificity. We generated a transcriptional network to explore how transcription factor expression is established in the Arabidopsis thaliana root ground tissue. Regulators of the SHORTROOT-SCARECROW transcriptional cascade were validated in planta. At the top of this cascade, we identified both activators and repressors of SHORTROOT. The aggregate spatial expression of these regulators is not sufficient to predict transcriptional specificity. Instead, modeling, transcriptional reporters, and synthetic promoters support a mechanism whereby expression at the top of the SHORTROOT-SCARECROW cascade is established through opposing activities of activators and repressors.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cumbie, Jason S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivanchenko, Maria G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NanoCAGE-XL and CapFilter: an approach to genome wide identification of high confidence transcription start sites.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genomics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genomics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabidopsis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanotechnology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Roots</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Software</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Initiation Site</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">597</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Identifying the transcription start sites (TSS) of genes is essential for characterizing promoter regions. Several protocols have been developed to capture the 5&amp;#39; end of transcripts via Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) or linker-ligation strategies such as Paired-End Analysis of Transcription Start Sites (PEAT), but often require large amounts of tissue. More recently, nanoCAGE was developed for sequencing on the Illumina GAIIx to overcome these difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Here we present the first publicly available adaptation of nanoCAGE for sequencing on recent ultra-high throughput platforms such as Illumina HiSeq-2000, and CapFilter, a computational pipeline that greatly increases confidence in TSS identification. We report excellent gene coverage, reproducibility, and precision in transcription start site discovery for samples from Arabidopsis thaliana roots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;nanoCAGE-XL together with CapFilter allows for genome wide identification of high confidence transcription start sites in large eukaryotic genomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/nanocage&quot;&gt;[Link to Protocol, Additional Data, and Supplementary Materials]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/capfilter&quot;&gt;[Link to CapFilter Software]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morton, Taj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petricka, Jalean</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corcoran, David L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Song</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Winter, Cara M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carda, Alexa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benfey, Philip N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ohler, Uwe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paired-end analysis of transcription start sites in Arabidopsis reveals plant-specific promoter signatures.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Cell</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Cell</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabidopsis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabidopsis Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Binding Sites</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cluster Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleotide Motifs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Roots</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA, Messenger</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Species Specificity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TATA Box</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Initiation Site</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2746-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Understanding plant gene promoter architecture has long been a challenge due to the lack of relevant large-scale data sets and analysis methods. Here, we present a publicly available, large-scale transcription start site (TSS) data set in plants using a high-resolution method for analysis of 5&amp;#39; ends of mRNA transcripts. Our data set is produced using the paired-end analysis of transcription start sites (PEAT) protocol, providing millions of TSS locations from wild-type Columbia-0 Arabidopsis thaliana whole root samples. Using this data set, we grouped TSS reads into &amp;quot;TSS tag clusters&amp;quot; and categorized clusters into three spatial initiation patterns: narrow peak, broad with peak, and weak peak. We then designed a machine learning model that predicts the presence of TSS tag clusters with outstanding sensitivity and specificity for all three initiation patterns. We used this model to analyze the transcription factor binding site content of promoters exhibiting these initiation patterns. In contrast to the canonical notions of TATA-containing and more broad &amp;quot;TATA-less&amp;quot; promoters, the model shows that, in plants, the vast majority of transcription start sites are TATA free and are defined by a large compendium of known DNA sequence binding elements. We present results on the usage of these elements and provide our Plant PEAT Peaks (3PEAT) model that predicts the presence of TSSs directly from sequence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/3PEAT&quot;&gt;[Link to Additional Data and Supplementary Materials]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNA promoter analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methods Mol Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methods Mol.

The approach to promoter element prediction is based on a carefully constructed collection of Positional Weight Matrices (PWMs) for known transcription factors (TFs) in Arabidopsis. A key concept of the method is to use scoring thresholds for potential binding sites that are appropriate to each individual transcription factor. While the procedure can be applied to search for Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs) in any pol-II promoter region, it is particularly practical for the case of plant miRNA promoters where upstream sequence regions and binding sites are not readily available in existing databases.

Genome-wide CAGE studies reveal that a large fraction of TSS exhibit peaks where the vast majority of associated tags map to a particular location ( approximately 45%), whereas other active regions contain a broader distribution of initiation events. The presence of a strong single peak suggests that transcription at these locations may be mediated by position-specific sequence features. We therefore propose a new model for single-peaked TSS based solely on known transcription factors (TFs) and their respective regions of positional enrichment. This probabilistic model leads to near-perfect classification results in cross-validation (auROC = 0.98), and performance in genomic scans demonstrates that TSS prediction with both high accuracy and spatial resolution is achievable for a specific but large subgroup of mammalian promoters. The interpretable model structure suggests a DNA code in which canonical sequence features such as TATA-box, Initiator, and GC content do play a significant role, but many additional TFs show distinct spatial biases with respect to TSS location and are important contributors to the accurate prediction of single-peak transcription initiation sites. The model structure also reveals that CAGE tag clusters distal from annotated gene starts have distinct characteristics compared to those close to gene 5&amp;#39;-ends. Using this high-resolution single-peak model, we predict TSS for approximately 70% of mammalian microRNAs based on currently available data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/node/715&quot;&gt;[Links to Tools and Supplementary Materials]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baev, Vesselin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusinov, Ventsislav</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jensen, Shane T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kalantidis, Kriton</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNA promoter element discovery in Arabidopsis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabidopsis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Binding Sites</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feedback, Physiological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TATA Box</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Initiation Site</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1612-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In this study we present a method of identifying Arabidopsis miRNA promoter elements using known transcription factor binding motifs.

We report five transcription factor (TF) binding motifs that show evidence of overrepresentation in miRNA promoter regions relative to the promoter regions of protein-coding genes. This investigation is based on the analysis of 800-nucleotide regions upstream of 63 experimentally verified Transcription Start Sites (TSS) for miRNA primary transcripts in Arabidopsis.
