Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM)
DREM map of heat 
shock response in yeast

The Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM) allows one to model, analyze, and visualize transcriptional gene regulation dynamics. The method of DREM takes as input time series gene expression data and static transcription factor-gene interaction data (e.g. ChIP-chip data), and produces as output a dynamic regulatory map. The dynamic regulatory map highlights major bifurcation events in the time series expression data and transcription factors potentially responsible for them. See the manual and papers below for more details.
