RcbZIP Gene Family in Rubus Chingii with Flavonoid Synthesis Analysis

XiuRong Xu's dataset from figshare, last updated April 2026, contains analysis of the bZIP gene family in the plant Rubus Chingii. It identifies 46 RcbZIP members, their distribution across six chromosomes, and explores the regulatory roles of RcbZIP1 and RcbZIP12 in flavonoid synthesis during fruit development.

Use Cases

• Analyzing gene family evolution and expansion based on the identification of 46 RcbZIP members and their distribution across chromosomes.
• Studying cis-acting regulatory elements based on promoter analysis revealing light-responsive, abscisic acid-responsive, and methyl jasmonate-responsive elements.
• Investigating gene expression correlation with metabolic pathways based on transcriptome analysis linking RcbZIP1/RcbZIP12 to flavonol synthesis genes.
• Validating transcription factor binding and promoter activation based on yeast monohybrid and LUC experiment results for RcbZIP1 and RcbZIP12.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a specific study identifying 46 RcbZIP gene family members.
• Analysis includes multiple validation methods: subcellular localization, evolutionary tree analysis, cis-element analysis, transcriptome correlation, RT-qPCR, yeast monohybrid, and LUC experiments.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

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 very small at 18.5 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing summary or analysis results rather than raw sequencing data.
