TRED: a transcriptional regulatory element database, new entries and other development
Transcriptional factors (TFs) and many of their target genes are involved in gene regulation at the level of transcription. To decipher gene regulatory networks (GRNs) we require ...

Comparative analyses of bidirectional promoters in vertebrates
Background: Orthologous genes with deep phylogenetic histories are likely to retain similar regulatory features. In this report we utilize orthology assignments for pairs of genes...

CORE_TF: a user-friendly interface to identify evolutionary conserved transcription factor binding sites in sets of co-regulated
Background: The identification of transcription factor binding sites is difficult since they are only a small number of nucleotides in size, resulting in large numbers of false po...

Bioinformatic identification of novel putative photoreceptor specific cis-elements
Background: Cell specific gene expression is largely regulated by different combinations of transcription factors that bind cis-elements in the upstream promoter sequence. However...

Prediction of regulatory elements in mammalian genomes using chromatin signatures
Background: Recent genomic scale survey of epigenetic states in the mammalian genomes has shown that promoters and enhancers are correlated with distinct chromatin signatures, pro...
