Carrot TCP Transcription Factor Family: 50 Genes with Expression and Phylogenetic Analysis

Jian-Hua Zhou published a dataset on figshare in March 2026 containing the results of a genome-wide identification and analysis of the TCP transcription factor family in carrot. The dataset includes information on 50 identified DcTCP genes, their protein characteristics, phylogenetic classification, chromosomal localization, and expression patterns during root development. The analysis was conducted using bioinformatics methods on the carrot genome.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic classification of plant transcription factors based on the three subfamilies (PCF, CIN, CYC/TB1) identified in the description.
• Analysis of gene expression patterns during carrot root development based on the specific expression profiles mentioned.
• Investigation of cis-acting regulatory elements related to light, stress, and hormone responses described in the dataset.
• Study of gene family expansion mechanisms using the chromosomal localization and whole-genome duplication (WGD) information provided.
• Prediction of regulatory networks involving miRNAs and protein-protein interactions based on the identified targeting relationships.

Strengths

• Contains data on 50 identified DcTCP genes with specific protein molecular weight ranges (6056 to 53,512.5 Da).
• Includes multiple layers of analysis: phylogenetic classification into 3 subfamilies, chromosomal localization on 9 chromosomes, and expression pattern analysis.
• Provides specific interaction counts, such as 214 predicted protein-protein interaction pairs and 12 regulatory miRNAs.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (879.5 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a single gene family in one species.
