TIL Gene Family Analysis in Five Brassicaceae Species and BrTIL1 Cold Tolerance Study

23 TIL genes identified across five Brassicaceae species (Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica rapa L., Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis, Brassica juncea L., and Brassica napus L.) in a comparative analysis. The dataset, authored by Zhengnan Xu and last updated in March 2026, includes results from gene structure, evolutionary, and cis-element analyses, plus functional validation of the BrTIL1 gene's role in cold tolerance.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics of the TIL gene family based on identified gene structures and conserved motifs.
• Studying cold stress response mechanisms based on BrTIL1 overexpression and associated enzyme activity data.
• Identifying potential protein-protein interaction networks based on the six BrTIL1-interacting proteins found via yeast two-hybrid screening.
• Analyzing promoter region function based on cis-acting element annotations mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific set of 23 TIL genes across five related plant species.
• Includes functional validation data from overexpression experiments measuring survival rates and enzyme activities.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 11.3 KB, indicating a limited scope focused on a specific gene family analysis.
