in this study, we carried out large-scale comparative genomics analysis of regulatory interactions in Desulfovibrio vulgaris and 12 related genomes from Desulfovibrionales order using our recently developed web server RegPredict (http://regpredict.lbl.gov). An overall reference collection of 26 Desulfovibrionales regulogs can be accessed through RegPrecise database (http://regpredict.lbl.gov).
