Salmonella transcriptomics: relating regulons, stimulons and regulatory networks to the process of infection

The advent of Salmonella transcriptomics has heralded a new era for gene expression analysis of this formidable intracellular pathogen. Increasing numbers of Salmonella transcriptomic datasets will contribute to the comprehensive definition of regulons, stimulons and regulatory networks. This task has highlighted the need for sophisticated computational techniques to describe regulatory interactions.
