PROBLEMS WITH CLUSTERING • Good at identifying genes that are coexpressed in response to all/most treatments • Not good at identifying genes that are co-expressed in response to specific subsets of treatments PROBLEMS WITH CLUSTERING Treatments Genes Genes Treatments NEW ALGORITHM: ModuleFinder • Choose an initial subset of treatments • Identify subset of genes that are coexpressed in response to these treatments • Cluster into groups NEW ALGORITHM: ModuleFinder • Look for other treatments under which these gene clusters are co-expressed RESULTS: ModuleFinder NDB2 Amino acid synthesis AOX1a carriers All associated with: flux through ETC ATP synthase activity ROS Classical ETC components Research focus - mitochondria protein import replication, transcription & translation biosynthetic pathways amino acids nucleotides vitamins folate lipids heme TCA cycle respiratory chain membrane transport Transcript profiling: import components TIM17 TIM22 TIM23 TOM7 TIM44 TOM9 TIM16 TOM20 TOM40 MPP TIM14 Transcript profiling: mRNA stability (relative to pre-treatment) Average transcript abundance Cytc(a) t ½ = 11 h TIM22-3 t ½ = 54 min Transcript profiling: mRNA stability Transcript abundance Time (hours) Degradation of Transcripts • Inhibit Transcription • Measure [T] at different times • Rate of degradation
