  • Title: TFBScluster: a resource for the characterization of transcriptional regulatory networks.
    Author: Donaldson IJ, Chapman M, Göttgens B.
    Journal: Bioinformatics; 2005 Jul 01; 21(13):3058-9. PubMed ID: 15855248.
    Abstract:
    One major challenge of the post-sequencing era of the human genome project will be the functional annotation of the non-coding portion of the genome, in particular gene regulatory sequences. We have developed a new web-based tool, TFBScluster, which performs genome-wide identification of transcription factor binding site clusters that are conserved in multiple mammalian genomes. Clusters representing candidate gene regulatory elements can be filtered further, based on the presence or absence of additional user-defined DNA sequence motifs or by constraining the orientation or order of binding sites. Comprehensive results files, returned by email, are designed to facilitate experimental validation of computationally identified candidate gene regulatory sequences. TFBScluster, therefore, has the potential to contribute to deciphering transcriptional networks that regulate a wide range of mammalian developmental processes.
