Bayesian Probabilistic Modeling
• Assign genes into co-regulated modules
• Construct regulatory relations of each module

RNA-Seq Data of Soybean Nodulation
• An important source of protein and oil
• Nitrogen fixation enabled by soybean-rhizobia symbiotic interactions
Nodule
Gene Regulatory Modules of Differentially Expressed Genes
A TF functioning in nodulation accordingto literature.
NSP, whose homologous protein is a nodulation signaling in rice.
One out of 10 modules
Zhu et al., 2013
Application to Other Species
• Arabidopsis• Drosophila• Mouse • Human• …

Binding Site Analysis
• MEME + TomTom to identify two binding sites: BetabetaAlphazinc, finger and Leucine Zipper
• TFs in GRAS family contain proteins binding to the motifs.
Function Enrichment Validation
Function predicted by MULTICOM-PDCNP-value calculated by hypergeometric distribution.Some functions are related to formation of nodule organ.
