A first step in making this possible is the identification of the entire complement of TFs and the corresponding cis -regulatory elements in the promoters of all genes.
We believe that fuzzy k-means clustering will be a useful complement to other computational methods commonly used to analyze gene-expression data.
The RNA genome of RSV is about 15 kb long and contains 11 documented protein-coding genes [ 13 ] . Three viral proteins are minimally required to reconstitute the functional transcription complex of NNR viruses [ 3 ] : the nucleocapsid protein (N) that wraps the negative-strand genome RNA and its full-length complement, the positive-strand antigenome RNA, thus converting them into highly nuclease-resistant, chromatin-like templates; the large protein (L), which is the major subunit of the RdRP; and the phosphoprotein (P), which is the smaller subunit of RdRP and an essential transcription factor of L [ 19 20 21 22 ] . In RSV, optimal transcription, although not replication, additionally requires the transcription antitermination protein M2-1 [ 13 ] . In addition, cellular actin, and to a lesser extent, profilin, are also required for viral transcription [ 17 18 ] .
In the case of Huntington disease the loss of 15-30% of the normal complement of medium spiny neurons leads to distinct movement disorder in both humans and transgenic mouse models [ 14 15 16 17 ] . The subset of genes that normally control the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of striatal neurons [ 18 19 20 ] are therefore of considerable importance in ensuring adaptive behavior at maturity.
Scorpion venom when injected exerts a strong inflammatory response [ 11 ] . Many plant species used against stings contain compounds with antiinflammatory properties, flavonoids (rutin, hesperidin, quercetin), coumarins (bergapten), coumestans (wedelolactone), triterpenes, sterols and saponins [ 38 11 ] . The mechanism of action of the flavonoids is based on the inhibition of enzymatic steps in the arachidonic acid cascade [ 38 ] . Plant compounds that are immunostimulants at very low doses are some alkaloids, quinones, isobutylamides, phenolcarboxylic acid esters and terpenoids [ 39 ] . Other plant compounds with immunostimulatory effects are sesquiterpene lactones [ 40 ] . Many polysaccharides and glycoproteins enhance the unspecific immune system by activating the phagocytotic activity of granulocytes and macrophages, or by inducing cytokine production or influencing complement factors [ 39 ] .
