ConSReg

Introduction

Recent advances in genomic technologies have generated large-scale protein-DNA interaction data and open chromatic regions for multiple plant species. To predict condition-specific gene regulatory networks using these data, we developed the Condition Specific Regulatory network inference engine (ConSReg), which combines heterogeneous genomic data using sparse linear model followed by feature selection and stability selection to select key regulatory genes. ConsReg was developed as a Python package. The process of integrating genomic data and inferring regulatory networks is summarized in the flowchart below.
