Bioinformatic tools are now an everyday part of a plant researcher's collection of protocols. They allow almost instantaneous access to large data sets encompassing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, epigenomes, and other "-omes," which are now being generated with increasing speed and decreasing cost. With the appropriate queries, such tools can generate quality hypotheses, sometimes without the need for new experimental data. In this chapter, we will investigate some of the tools used for examining gene expression and coexpression patterns, performing promoter analyses and functional classification enrichment for sets of genes, and exploring protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions in Arabidopsis. We will also cover additional tools that allow integration of data from several sources for improved hypothesis generation.
