Prediction of tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules using Bayesian networks and regression trees
Background: In vertebrates, a large part of gene transcriptional regulation is operated by cisregulatory modules. These modules are believed to be regulating much of the tissue-sp...

Gene expression changes induced by the tumorigenic pyrrolizidine alkaloid riddelliine in liver of Big Blue rats
Background: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are probably the most common plant constituents that poison livestock, wildlife, and humans worldwide. Riddelliine is isolated from plant...
