    Abstract Knowledge of biological organisms at the molecular level that has been gathered is now organized into databases, often within ontological frameworks. To enable computational comparisons of annotations across different genomes and organisms, controlled vocabularies have been essential, as is the case in the functional annotation classifications used for bacteria, such as MultiFun and the more widely used Gene Ontology. The function of individual gene products as well as the processes in which collections of them participate constitute a wealth of classes that describe the biological role of gene products in a large number of organisms in the three kingdoms of life. In this contribution, we highlight from a qualitative perspective some limitations of these frameworks and discuss challenges that need to be addressed to bridge the gap between annotation as currently captured by ontologies and databases and our understanding of the basic principles in the organization and functioning of organisms; we illustrate these challenges with some examples in bacteria. We hope that raising awareness of these issues will encourage users of Gene Ontology and similar ontologies to be careful about data interpretation and lead to improved data representation.

    Abstract Post-genomic implementations have expanded the experimental strategies to identify elements involved in the regulation of transcription initiation. As new methodologies emerge, a natural step is to compare their results with those from established methodologies, such as the classic methods of molecular biology used to characterize transcription factor binding sites, promoters, or transcription units.

    Abstract In the face of changes in their environment, bacteria adjust gene expression levels and produce appropriate responses. The individual layers of this process have been widely studied: the transcriptional regulatory network describes the regulatory interactions that produce changes in the metabolic network, both of which are coordinated by the signaling network, but the interplay between them has never been described in a systematic fashion. Here, we formalize the process of detection and processing of environmental information mediated by individual transcription factors (TFs), utilizing a concept termed genetic sensory response units (GENSOR units), which are composed of four components: (1) a signal, (2) signal transduction, (3) genetic switch, and (4) a response. We used experimentally validated data sets from two databases to assemble a GENSOR unit for each of the 189 local TFs of

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming a routine approach in most domains of the life sciences. To ensure reproducibility of results, there is a crucial need to improve the automation of NGS data processing and enable forthcoming studies relying on big datasets. Although user-friendly interfaces now exist, there remains a strong need for accessible solutions that allow experimental biologists to analyze and explore their results in an autonomous and flexible way. The protocols here describe a modular system that enable a user to compose and fine-tune workflows based on SnakeChunks, a library of rules for the Snakemake workflow engine. They are illustrated using a study combining ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to identify target genes of the global transcription factor FNR in Escherichia coli, which has the advantage that results can be compared with the most up-to-date collection of existing knowledge about transcriptional regulation in this model organism, extracted from the RegulonDB database. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Abstract In free-living bacteria, the ability to regulate gene expression is at the core of adapting and interacting with the environment. For these systems to have a logic, a signal must trigger a genetic change that helps the cell to deal with what implies its presence in the environment; briefly, the response is expected to include a feedback to the signal. Thus, it makes sense to think of genetic sensory mechanisms of gene regulation.

    Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) are important drivers of cellular decision-making. When bacteria encounter a change in the environment, TFs alter the expression of a defined set of genes in order to adequately respond. It is commonly assumed that genes regulated by the same TF are involved in the same biological process. Examples of this are methods that rely on coregulation to infer function of not-yet-annotated genes. We have previously shown that only 21% of TFs involved in metabolism regulate functionally homogeneous genes, based on the proximity of the gene products' catalyzed reactions in the metabolic network. Here, we provide more evidence to support the claim that a 1-TF/1-process relationship is not a general property. We show that the observed functional heterogeneity of regulons is not a result of the quality of the annotation of regulatory interactions, nor the absence of protein-metabolite interactions, and that it is also present when function is defined by Gene Ontology terms. Furthermore, the observed functional heterogeneity is different from the one expected by chance, supporting the notion that it is a biological property. To further explore the relationship between transcriptional regulation and metabolism, we analyzed five other types of regulatory groups and identified complex regulons (i.e. genes regulated by the same combination of TFs) as the most functionally homogeneous, and this is supported by coexpression data. Whether higher levels of related functions exist beyond metabolism and current functional annotations remains an open question.
