The great recent progress made in identifying the molecular parts lists of organisms
revealed the paucity of our understanding of what most of the parts do. In this review, we …

Roots play a number of important roles in crop adaptation to various abiotic stresses such as
water stress. However, traits responsible for such adaptation may differ with environments …

Background Co-expression correlations provide the ability to predict gene functionality
within specific biological contexts, such as different tissue and disease conditions. However …

The model organism Arabidopsis thaliana is readily used in basic research due to resource
availability and relative speed of data acquisition. A major goal is to transfer acquired …

Abstract The COXPRESdb (http://coxpresdb. jp) provides gene coexpression relationships
for animal species. Here, we report the updates of the database, mainly focusing on the …

Co-expression networks have proven effective at assigning putative functions to genes
based on the functional annotation of their co-expressed partners, in candidate gene …

One major objective for plant biology is the discovery of molecular subsystems underlying
complex traits. The use of genetic and genomic resources combined in a systems genetics …

Abstract ATTED-II (http://atted. jp) is a database of coexpressed genes that was originally
developed to identify functionally related genes in Arabidopsis and rice. Herein, we describe …

Understanding how genomes change as organisms become more complex is a central
question in evolution. Molecular evolutionary studies typically correlate the appearance of …

Discovering gene sets underlying the expression of a given phenotype is of great
importance, as many phenotypes are the result of complex gene-gene interactions. Gene …
