ChromDB -- the Chromatin Database

What you can do:
Locate chromatin-associated proteins, including RNAi-associated proteins, for a broad range of organisms.
Highlights:
  • Our primary focus is to display sets of highly curated plant genes predicted to encode proteins associated with chromatin remodeling.
  • Our intent is to make this intensively curated sequence information available to the research and teaching communities in support of comparative analyses toward understanding the chromatin proteome in plants, especially in important crop species such as corn and rice.
  • Model animal and fungal proteins are included in the database to facilitate a complete, comparative analysis of the chromatin proteome and to make the database applicable to all chromatin researchers and educators.
  • Chromatin biology and chromatin remodeling are complex processes involving a multitude of proteins that regulate the dynamic changes in chromatin structure which either repress or activate transcription.
  • We strive to organize ChromDB data in a straightforward and comparative manner to help users understand the complement of proteins involved in packaging DNA into chromatin.
