UniPROBE, update 2011: expanded content and search tools in the online database of protein-binding microarray data on protein-DN

The Universal PBM Resource for OligonucleotideBinding Evaluation (UniPROBE) database is a centralized repository of information on the DNAbinding preferences of proteins as determined by universal protein-binding microarray (PBM) technology. Each entry for a protein (or protein complex) in UniPROBE provides the quantitative preferences for all possible nucleotide sequence variants (‘words’) of length k (‘k-mers’), as well as position weight matrix (PWM) and graphical sequence logo representations of the k-mer data. In this update, we describe >130% expansion of the database content, incorporation of a protein BLAST (blastp) tool for finding protein sequence
